The illustration depicts a red blood cell (RBC; erythrocyte) subjected to a hypertonic environment, showing shrinkage with irregular, crenated, spiky contours due to osmotic water loss. In hematology and cell physiology, this echinocyte-like appearance demonstrates osmotic stress on a circulating blood cell. While its normal function is oxygen transport via hemoglobin, dehydration reduces membrane deformability and may hinder microvascular transit. The image serves as a schematic of hyperosmotic effects on erythrocyte morphology.
