Metal Print : Bladder epithelium, light micrograph
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Bladder epithelium, light micrograph
Bladder epithelium. Light micrograph of a vertical section through the wall of the urinary bladder. The inner surface is at top. The upper layer (light pink) is the transitional epithelium, which is especially adapted for the bladders function of containing urine. The plasma membranes surrounding the epithelial cells here are much thicker than most cell membranes, with a specialised sub-structure. The epithelium is thus rendered impermeable to potentially toxic urine. Below the epithelium is smooth muscle and connective tissue (dark red). Magnification: x3300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of bladder epithelium, providing a glimpse into the remarkable adaptation of this vital organ. The image reveals a vertical section through the wall of the urinary bladder, with its inner surface displayed at the top. The upper layer, depicted in a delicate shade of pink, represents the transitional epithelium. This specialized tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the bladder's function by containing urine. What sets it apart is its unique cellular composition - plasma membranes surrounding these epithelial cells are noticeably thicker than typical cell membranes and possess a specialized sub-structure. This ingenious design renders the epithelium impermeable to potentially harmful substances present in urine. Beneath this protective layer lies smooth muscle and connective tissue, portrayed in deep shades of red. These underlying structures provide support and contribute to proper bladder function. With an impressive magnification level of x3300 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this light micrograph offers an awe-inspiring view into our internal anatomy. It serves as a testament to both the complexity and resilience of our bodies. This stunning visual representation not only highlights normal anatomical features but also provides valuable insights for urology specialists studying various conditions affecting urinary system health.
