Wound healing reaction: A switch from gestation to senescence

Figure 6 Schematic representations of the heterogeneous endothelium that surrounds the wounded tissue. A: The endothelium that cover the wound (W) and the damaged interstitium (it) are made up by the post-capillary venous endothelium (pcve), the high endothelial venular endothelium (heve), the lymphatic endothelium (le) and the blood capillary endothelium (bce); B: The inflammatory response is produced into the injured interstitium. The inflammatory mediators, molecules and cells, invade this interstitial space crossing through a sheath of heterogeneous endothelia.
