lendotelio

Lendotelio is a term that is not widely recognized in contemporary biology. In most scientific sources, it appears as a misspelling or misnomination of endotelio (endothelium) in Spanish, the thin cellular lining of blood and lymphatic vessels and the heart.

Because there is no formally defined structure or function named lendotelio in standard anatomy or histology, the term may also occur in fictional, speculative, or regional usage without universal acceptance.

If the term is encountered in literature, it is prudent to check context for whether the author intended endotelio or a different concept. For accurate information about the vascular lining, see endothelium; the endothelium consists of a monolayer of endothelial cells that regulate vascular tone, permeability, coagulation, and inflammatory responses.
