[Ultrastructural organization of the endotheliocytes of human liver sinusoids in the prenatal period]. 1987

I I Bobrik, and E A Shevchenko, and G A Alimov

Structure of endotheliocytes of the human liver sinusoids during 4-5-9 months of intrauterine development has been studied electron microscopically. At early stages of embryogenesis the liver sinusoids are covered with continuous endothelium. As cytodifferentiation progresses, formation of zonality in cytoplasm of endotheliocytes is observed. In the most thinned parts of cytoplasm single fenestrae, situating irregularly appear. As the fetus is growing, the number of diafragmented fenestrae increases their arrangement becomes more regular; together with accidental, claster arrangement of the fenestrae is observed. Open intra- and intercellular fenestrae of endotheliocytes appear in the second half of the intrauterine development. For endotheliocytes of the fetal liver sinusoids presence of transitory migrational pores is specific; they are maximally thinned areas of endotheliocytic cytoplasm, that emerge at the moment of diapedesis of the blood formed elements across the endothelial lining. High tempo of histogenesis is specific for endothelium of the liver sinusoids; the endothelium of a continuous type differentiates into the specialized--sinusoid endothelium.

D008833 Microcirculation The circulation of the BLOOD through the MICROVASCULAR NETWORK. Microvascular Blood Flow,Microvascular Circulation,Blood Flow, Microvascular,Circulation, Microvascular,Flow, Microvascular Blood,Microvascular Blood Flows,Microvascular Circulations
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009024 Morphogenesis The development of anatomical structures to create the form of a single- or multi-cell organism. Morphogenesis provides form changes of a part, parts, or the whole organism.
