Red blood cells in a capillary (human central nervous system), coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Red blood cells (RBCs), or erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell in vertebrates. They are involved in delivering oxygen to the body tissue. RBCs take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body's capillaries. The cytoplasm of RBCs is rich in haemoglobin, an iron-containing biomolecule that can bind oxygen and is responsible for the red color of the cells. The cell membrane is composed of proteins and lipids and this structure provides properties essential for physiological cell function (deformability and stability) while traversing the circulatory system, especially the capillary network. In humans, mature RBCs are flexible and oval biconcave disks. Capillaries are the small blood vessels that make up the microcirculation of the human body. Magnification: x1, 355 when shortest

RM2BE0GCR–TEM of several red cells in cross-section within the capillary loop (any of the small blood vessels that carry blood in the papillae of the skin) of a glomerulus from the kidney of a mouse. The hemoglobin-containing red cells appear deeply gray and homogeneous because they contain no nuclei. Blood present in the capillary loop filters materials across the thin cellular processes of the endothelium (the gray amorphous basement membrane which surrounds the cells) and between the foot processes of specialized cells (podocytes) that line the urinary space.

RM2BE0JEE–Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a thin section cut through the pancreas (mammalian). This image shows a capillary within the pancreatic tissue (acinar cells in this image). Note the abundance of rough endoplasmic reticulum in the acinar cells. There is a red blood cell within the capillary. The capillary lining consists of long, thin endothelial cells, connected by tight junctions. The image shows fenestration of these endothelial cells. The image also shows synaptic vesicles in the neuron (nerve cell) next to the capillary.

RFH3PAC3–Blood supply to muscles. Light micrograph (LM) showing blood supply to muscle fibers. The muscle fibers (yellow) have been teased apart to reveal the capillary bed (red) that has been perfused with dye. Each muscle fibre has its own extensively branched fine capillary network surrounding it. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body. They have thin walls that allow dissolved nutrients and oxygen to pass into the surrounding muscle cells. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and move the bones of the skeleton.
