Two  are  highlighted  by  the  arrows.  Characteristically,  acanthocytes  have  irregularly  arranged  spicules  that  project  from  the  red  cell  surface  and  are  often  bent  back  on  themselves.  Although  superficially  they  resemble  echinocytes,  the  latter  have  more  numerous  projections  with  rounded,  rather  than  sharply  pointed  tips,  evenly  distributed  over  the  red  cell  surface.
