Scanning electron micrographs of canine mature red cells (erythrocytes) and a reticulocyte, the immediate precursor of the mature red cell(lower right). Reticulocytes are multilobular or cup shaped and possess the increased volume and membrane surface area. Acquisition of a favorable surface area/volume relationship is important for normal erythrocytes to undergo marked deformation while maintaining a constant surface area, and is achieved by membrane remodeling during reticulocyte maturation involving the exosome extrusion process. |
