The smooth inner lining of many body structures, including the heart (endocardium) and blood vessels
Single-cell layer of tissue lining the innermost surfaces of many organs, glands, and blood vessels; also lines undersurface of the cornea, where it regulates corneal water content
The thin layer of cells that lines blood vessels It is the primary producer of endothelin
The innermost, simple squamous layer of cells lining the blood vessels: the only constituent structure of capillaries
The innermost layer of the cornea The endothelium is one cell layer thick (5-10 microns or 005- 01 millimeters) and provides hydration balance to maintain the cornea's transparency The endothelium serves three main purposes it regulates the stroma's water content, provides a barrier to ingress of several constituents of the aqueous humor, and actively transports glucose
The specific epithelium of the blood vascular system It is a simple squamous epithelium, designed for rapid gas exchange
an epithelium of mesoblastic origin; a thin layer of flattened cells that lines the inside of some body cavities
A layer of flat squamous cells, especially those lining blood and lymphatic vessels and the heart
A layer of flat cells lining especially blood and lymphatic vessels and the heart Bleeding occurs when these cells are torn or ruptured until a clot forms
