endothelial cells Also known as vascular endothelial cells, it usually refers to the heart, blood vessels and lymph gland Internal Simple squamous epithelium , which forms the inner wall of blood vessels. They can engulf foreign bodies, bacteria, necrotic and aging tissues, and also participate in the immune activity of the body.

Endothelial cells or vascular endothelium are a thin layer of specialized epithelial cells , consisting of one floor Flat cell Consists of. It forms the inner wall of a blood vessel and is the interface between blood in the vascular lumen and other blood vessel walls (single-layer squamous epithelium). Endothelial cells are composed of heart To the smallest microvascular. Endothelial cells on the inner surface of the ventricle are called Endocardium Microvessel and lymph microtubule It is composed of a single layer of endothelial cells.

endothelial cells It is distributed in the brain lymph gland , lung, liver spleen The general term for some phagocytes with common characteristics in organs and tissues, such as phagocytosis of foreign bodies, bacteria, necrotic and aging tissues,
They also participated in collective immunization activities, including:
1、 vasoconstriction and Vasodilation To control blood pressure;
4、 Angiogenesis
5. Inflammation and swelling (such as edema).
6. Endothelial cells also control the entry and exit of some substances, such as white blood cells.
7. In some organs, some highly differentiated endothelial cells are responsible for special filtration functions. Examples include renal fibroids and Blood-brain barrier
