Endothelial cells are cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.u00a0<br>

Features and Function of Endothelial Cells What is Endothelial Cells? Endothelial cells are a thin layer of specialized epithelial cells, composed of a layer of flat cells, polygonal, cell edge serrated, mutually chimeric.It forms the inner wall of a blood vessel, the interface between blood in the lumen and other blood vessel walls (single layer of squamous epithelium). Endothelial cells or vascular endothelium is a thin layer of specialized epithelial cells, composed of a flat layer of cells, polygonal, cell edge serrated, mutually chimera.It forms the inner wall of a blood vessel, the interface between blood in the lumen and other blood vessel walls (single layer of squamous epithelium). The endothelial cells run along the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest microvessels.The endothelial cells on the surface of the endocardium are called endocardium.Microvessels and lymphatic microtubules are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells. Endothelial tissue is a special kind of epithelial tissue, and epithelial tissue is one of the four biological tissues of animals. The function of Endothelial Cells Vascular endothelial cells (EC) is located in between the plasma and blood vessels, it can not only complete the metabolism of plasma and tissue fluid exchange, and can synthesize and secrete a variety of biological active substances, in order to ensure the normal contraction of blood vessels and diastole, efforts to maintain vascular tension, adjust blood pressure and blood coagulation and anticoagulation equilibrium special features, such as to maintain the normal flow of blood and long-term patency. Endothelial cells on the surface of anticoagulant materials can reduce thrombus formation and platelet activation. The intact endothelial cell is the best anticoagulant tissue, and the surface vascular endothelial tissue is the natural anticoagulant tissue.Endothelial cell membrane has natural anticoagulant components, such as heparin, prostaglandin (PGI), nitric oxide, etc. Endothelial cells can
synthesize and secrete a variety of endothelium-derived relaxation factors. Endothelial cells are involved in several areas of vascular biology, including: Vasoconstriction and vasodilation to control blood pressure; Coagulation anticoagulation and fibrinolysis (thrombosis and fibrinolysis); Atherosclerosis; Angiogenesis; Inflammation and swelling (edema). Endothelial cells also control substances such as white blood cells that move in and out of blood vessels. In some organs, there are highly differentiated endothelial cells responsible for special filtration functions.Examples include glomerulus and cerebrovascular barriers. The features of Endothelial Cells In the endothelial cells of the cardiovascular system, there is also the weible-palade body, also known as the endothelium granules.
