Intestinal gland cell, TEM C014 / 1440
Intestinal gland cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an undifferentiated cell from the intestinal tract, showing extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER, thin blue lines) and mitochondria (green). Undifferentiated cells like this serve as replacements for cell types both in the glands and villi of the intestine. Magnification: x4000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an intestinal gland cell, revealing its complex structure and vital functions. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this image provides a glimpse into the microscopic world of biology and anatomy. The undifferentiated cell depicted here plays a crucial role in the gastrointestinal tract as it serves as a replacement for various cell types found in both the glands and villi of the intestine. Its nucleus, visible at the center, holds genetic information necessary for cellular processes. Highlighted by thin blue lines, the extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) within this cell is responsible for protein synthesis and transport. This network intertwines with mitochondria, represented in green, which generate energy to fuel cellular activities. The sectioned view offers insight into how these cells are organized within the gut. The presence of tight junctions and interdigitations indicates their ability to form strong connections with neighboring cells, ensuring efficient absorption and secretion processes. With a magnification of x4000 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricacy hidden within our own bodies. It reminds us that even on such small scales, there is immense complexity at work – all contributing to our overall health and well-being.
