For the endothelium of the cornea, see corneal endothelium. Endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells.hese functions include fluid filtration, such as in the glomeruli of the kidney, blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, and hormone trafficking. Endothelium of the interior surfaces of the heart chambers is called endocardium.
The endothelial cell is thought to arise from the splanchnopleuric mesoderm. Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood.In addition to its role as a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and inducible metabolic and synthetic functions.ell facts: (1) Endothelium consists of approximately (1-6) x 10(13) endothelial cells forming an almost 1 kg organ. (2) They uniquely contain Weibel-Palade bodies, 0.1 microm wide, 3 microm long membrane-bound structures that represent the storage organelle for von Willebrand factor (vWF).
