endothelial cells

Preferred Label : endothelial cells;

MeSH definition : Highly specialized EPITHELIAL CELLS that line the HEART; BLOOD VESSELS; and lymph vessels, forming the ENDOTHELIUM. They are polygonal in shape and joined together by TIGHT JUNCTIONS. The tight junctions allow for variable permeability to specific macromolecules that are transported across the endothelial layer.;

MeSH synonym : endothelial cell; cells, endothelial; cell, endothelial;

Wikipedia automatic translation : Endothelium;

MeSH hyponym : capillary endothelial cells; vascular endothelial cells; lymphatic endothelial cells; Cell, Vascular Endothelial; Cells, Vascular Endothelial; Endothelial Cell, Vascular; Endothelial Cells, Vascular; Vascular Endothelial Cell; Capillary Endothelial Cell; Cell, Capillary Endothelial; Cells, Capillary Endothelial; Endothelial Cell, Capillary; Endothelial Cells, Capillary; Cell, Lymphatic Endothelial; Cells, Lymphatic Endothelial; Endothelial Cell, Lymphatic; Endothelial Cells, Lymphatic; Lymphatic Endothelial Cell;

MeSH annotation : coordinate with specific tissue type if pertinent;
