Abstract
EM examination showed that fetal cerebral capillaries exhibit very complex peg-and-socket relationships between the endothelial cells and the numerous pericytes found on the walls of these vessels. In fetal muscle pericytes were rare (although often of complex form) on the walls of capillaries. Cerebral capillaries were always closely invested by neuropil, in contrast with the loose connective tissues which surrounded the capillaries of muscle.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
