The Endothelium is a single layer of cells which line the internal wall of blood vessels. It enables the blood to flow smoothly inside the blood vessels. In the past it was considered to be just a "Teflon" like coating. Today scientists know that the endothelium has many different biological actions, like controlling blood pressure, inflammation, clotting and oxidation processes making it a critical component in protection against cardiovascular diseases.
What else can I help you with?
What epithelium is found in blood vessels?
Simple squamous epithelium
What layer consist of endothelium?
Capillary walls consists of a single layer of flat endothelium
What lines the sinuses?
Endothelium
What is a single thin layer of endothelium called?
A single thin layer of endothelium is called a monolayer.

Mesothelium is to the linings of the body cavities as endothelium is to the lining of the?
Mesothelium and endothelium are types of epithelium tissue. Mesothelium lines the body cavities and endothelium lines primarily the circulatory system.

Simple squamous tissue that lines the heart blood vessels and lymphatic vessels is called what?
it is called Endothelium (endothelial layer) composed of simple squamous epithelium forming a countinuous barrier.
Why is the endothelium smooth?
Because it is an involuntaru muscle contraction
What tissue lines the endothelium and mesothelium?
Simple Squamous
What is addressin?
Addressin is an extracellular protein of the endothelium of venules.
Why does damaged endothelium present an increased risk of blood clotting?
The damaged endothelium exposes the underlying collagen. Circulating platelets bind to the collagen activating the clotting process.
