A sinusoid is a form of blood channel usually described as a large, irregular capillary, having a discontinuous lining of endothelium, with little or no adventitia; sinusoids are found in the liver, …

sinusoid, irregular tubular space for the passage of blood, taking the place of capillaries and venules in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. The sinusoids form from branches of the portal vein in the liver …

A liver sinusoid is a type of capillary known as a sinusoidal capillary, discontinuous capillary or sinusoid, that is similar to a fenestrated capillary, having discontinuous endothelium that serves as a location …

Mar 8, 2017 · Sinusoids are small vessels found in certain organs. Sinusoids have large pores that allow blood cells and molecules to pass through their thin walls.

The portions of the veins above the upper ring become interrupted by the developing liver and broken up by it into a plexus of small, capillary-like vessels termed sinusoids.

Sinusoids differ from traditional capillaries due to their larger diameter and discontinuous endothelium. This structure allows for greater permeability, enabling the passage of larger molecules, such as …

Sinusoids are large blood spaces characterized by an irregular cell wall consisting of both endothelial cells and reticulo-endothelial cells, allowing direct contact between blood and tissue cells.

Sinusoids are low pressure vascular channels that receive blood from terminal branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein at the periphery of lobules and deliver it into central veins.

Feb 1, 2023 · Hepatocytes are arranged into cords, separated by vascular sinusoids. In this image, the cords are the solid substance (mostly bright pink hepatocyte cytoplasm) separated by the clear …

Sinusoids (discontinuous capillaries) have wide lumens, much broader than other capillaries. They also have large gaps or discontinuities between adjacent endothelial cells as well as pores (fenestrations).
