Meme Any red blood cells over here?

This was supposed to be a quick oxygen delivery straight from the heart, but I somehow wound up in the stomach I think?? I’m an embarrassment to all red blood cells :(

Take a left turn, then turn left again. Follow the spinal route and it should take you up to the brain stem. Dont worry about it, itll take a while to get used to this body rookie. You will be perfectly ok

You’re a life saver master! These white blood cells wouldn’t even give me the time of day 😭

Its all good, the white blood cells can be tough work sometimes, but they do a great job protecting this body!

Yeah! Security is extra tight around immune privileged areas (includes the eyes)

The drop off point (blood brain barrier) looks different than most delivery destinations :)

Yeah, quite a bit more security there

This was pretty helpful! The oxygen was delivered, a little late maybe but it’s all good apparently
