Esophagus Muscularis
Description
Biology builds itself in layers. A single cell divides and specializes, joining others to form tissue with a collective purpose. In the esophageal muscularis, cells have organized into layered muscle tissue, coordinating contractions that move food through the body without a moment's conscious thought.
Part of a three-piece series tracing the progression from cell to tissue to organ. Biology at scale is a continuum of interactions that boggle the mind — and it all begins with a single cell following its genetic instructions.
Original pen-plotted artwork. One of a kind.
