TH1.H1.5D2 Fenestrated Capillary
Micrograph of Fenestrated Capillary:
In this fenestrated capillary identify the pores (or fenestrations) which characterise this type of capillary
Notice that the capillary has no tunica media or tunica adventitia
In this capillary the epithelium lining the capillary lumen is sitting on a prominent basal lamina
This basal lamina defines the outer limits of the tunica intima of a capillary (and of the whole capillary wall)
