medical illustration of The story depicted here takes place in a bone marrow cavity within cancellous bone. 
It shows one of the leading theories regarding how specialized cells called megakaryocytes produce platelets. 
Two megakaryocytes have extended pseudopods into the interior of a sinusoidal capillary. The granular swellings along the lengths of the pseudopods are platelets-to-be. Within the capillary these swellings break off through a budding process to become free platelets.
Next medical illustration of This 3D illustration depicts a dramatic view of spermatozoa traveling within the lumen of a uterine (Fallopian) tube. The lumen is lined by secretory epithelial cells interspersed with ciliated columnar cells.
