Blood clots, SEM
Blood clots. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of small blood clots (red) in a blood vessel. The clots consist of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

Coloured SEM of a blood clot due to an injury

Computer artwork of a blood clot
Blood clot. Computer artwork of a blood clot, showing disc-like red blood cells and fibrin. Fibrin (yellow fibres) is a long insoluble protein produced from the blood protein fibrinogen

Coloured SEM of red blood cells forming a clot
Blood clot. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) showing the formation of a blood clot. Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

Illustration of a dissolving blood clot (thrombus)
Dissolving blood clot. Illustration of a human blood clot (thrombus) in the process of dissolving. At upper centre is the blood clot

Blood clot
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blood clot. Red blood cells have been trapped by a web of thin yellow-white strands of fibrin

False-colour SEM of a human blood clot
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human blood clot (thrombus), showing strands of fibrin around red blood cells

Coloured SEM of red blood cell covered in fibrin
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing a human red blood cell (erythrocyte) with a fine covering of fibrin, the protein involved in clot formation

Arteriole, SEM
Arteriole. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cross-section through a small human artery known as an arteriole. Red blood cells and some fibrin fibres are seen in the central lumen

Healing wound, SEM
Healing skin wound, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). A blood vessel is leaking at left. At right, red blood cells (or erythrocytes)

Illustration of blood cells & fibrin in a thrombus
Thrombus. Illustration of a thrombus, an abnormal blood clot formed inside a vein or artery. Red blood cells appear trapped inside a network of fibres of the insoluble protein fibrin

Coronary thrombosis, light micrograph
Coronary thrombosis. Light micrograph of a section through a thrombus (blood clot) in the coronary artery of the heart. The clot is packed full of red blood cells (red)

Blood clot, artwork

Platelets, SEM
Platelets. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a clump of activated platelets from a blood clot. Platelets are fragments of white blood cells

Activated platelets, artwork
Activated platelets. Artwork of platelets (thrombocytes) that have been activated. Platelets are part of the blood. When a blood vessel is damaged

Detached blood clot, artwork
Detached blood clot. Computer artwork of an embolus (detached blood clot) in a blood vessel. The erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the clot are held together by the protein fibrin (yellow lines)

Bird red blood cells, SEM
Bird red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fractured red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) from avian heart tissue

Reptilian red blood cells, SEM
Reptilian red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of whole and fractured red blood cells (erythrocytes, purple) from reptilian tissue

Fibrin strands, artwork
Fibrin strands. Computer artwork depicting a number of fibrin strands with their ends embedded in the membrane of a cell. Fibrin is composed of fibrinogen proteins

"Fibrin: The Essential Protein in Blood Clotting" In the intricate realm of blood coagulation cascade, one protein stands out as a crucial player - fibrin. Represented beautifully in artwork C016/9873, this captivating molecule takes center stage in the world of Anatomy and Biology. Fibrin's significance lies within its ability to form blood clots, ensuring our bodies can heal wounds efficiently. SEM images such as C016/9747 and those depicting blood clots on plaster showcase the intricate web-like structure that fibrin forms during clot formation. The cross-section biomedical illustration reveals how fibrogen transforms into insoluble fibrin strands, effectively trapping red blood cells and yellow platelets at the site of injury. This visual representation highlights the vital role played by fibrin in preventing excessive bleeding. A closer look at a blood vessel with platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells emphasizes how these elements work together harmoniously under fibrin's guidance to maintain our health. Conceptual images featuring red blood cells intertwined with fibrin further emphasize this symbiotic relationship. SEM images like C016/9751 and C016/9746 offer an up-close view of intricately formed clots, showcasing the complexity behind their creation. These visuals serve as a reminder of how essential fibrin is for our well-being. So next time you think about clotting or wound healing, remember that behind it all is this remarkable protein called fibrin – an unsung hero working tirelessly within us to ensure our healthcare needs are met seamlessly.
