Ischaemic bowel, light micrograph
Ischaemic bowel. Light micrograph of a section through a portion of intestine that has been damaged by an interruption of the blood supply, or ischaemia. The surface epithelium and glands of the mucosa lining show severe tissue injury with cell death and disruption of normal gland organisation. The tissue is engorged with blood with accumulation of leucocytes (white blood cells), typical of an inflammatory type reaction to tissue necrosis (cell death). Magnification: x20 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of an ischaemic bowel under a light microscope. The image reveals a section of intestine that has suffered damage due to an interruption in its blood supply, known as ischaemia. The severity of the tissue injury is evident as the surface epithelium and glands lining the mucosa display signs of severe damage, including cell death and disruption of normal gland organization. The affected tissue appears engorged with blood, indicating an inflammatory response to the necrosis (cell death) occurring within. This reaction is characterized by the accumulation of white blood cells, or leucocytes, which are typical markers of inflammation. With a magnification factor of x20 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this micrograph provides a closer look into the anatomical abnormalities caused by interrupted blood flow in the human body. It offers valuable insights into histology and cytology while shedding light on conditions related to gastrointestinal health. While not mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation, this image serves as a powerful educational tool for researchers and medical professionals studying disorders associated with unhealthy intestines and disrupted blood supply. Its scientific significance lies in unraveling mechanisms behind inflammation, necrosis, and abnormal cellular responses within our digestive system.
