Figure 20 TEM micrograph of a capillary found in diseased human liver, fixed by injection of fixative into a wedge biopsy.
Capillary endothelial cells are different from normal sinusoidal endothelial cells; their vacuolar apparatus (pinocytotic vesicles, endosomes, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus) is not developed. The thin cytoplasm contains fenestrae and the capillary is surrounded by a thin, continuous basal lamina that is not present in normal sinusoids. Magnification 6600 ×.
