Toad blood corpuscles

Toad blood corpuscles

This is a toads blood corpuscle. It has a highly complex cell structure in comparison to the infamous frogs blood corpuscle. This is because of its size and abnormal absorption properties. Note that these are not to be confused with western Cirinian Box Toad's structure. This is a common mistake. The Cirinian Box Toad has a complex cell density due to the properties of its immune system.
