A fibrillar elastic apparatus around human lymph capillaries
1990
A fibrillar elastic apparatus around the wall of human lymph capillaries is demonstrated by means of histochemical and ultrastructural techniques. This apparatus consists of three interlinked components listed here in order of increasing distance from the capillary wall: 1) oxytalan fibres connected to the abluminal surface of the endothelial cells, known also as “anchoring filaments” and consisting of bundles of microfibrils; 2) elaunin fibres consisting of microfibrils and a small amount of elastin; and 3) typical elastic fibres consisting of microfibrils and abundant elastin.
