endoteellrakud
Endoteellrakud, often referred to as endothelial cells, form the inner lining of all blood and lymphatic vessels. They are a specialized type of epithelial cell, but their location and function distinguish them. These cells play a critical role in maintaining vascular homeostasis, acting as a barrier between the blood and surrounding tissues.
The primary functions of endoteellrakud include regulating the passage of substances into and out of the bloodstream
Endoteellrakud are not merely a passive lining. They are metabolically active and constantly interact with their
Dysfunction of endoteellrakud is implicated in a wide range of diseases, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension.
