On the Role of the Blood Vessel Endothelial Microvilli in the Blood Flow in Small Capillaries

Figure 2

The microvilli in the mouse capillary: electron microphotography. An erythrocyte (E) inside the capillary; the microvilli (arrows) produce visible invaginations on the erythrocyte wall. Green arrow: double microvilli (see the text); red arrow: radially cut microvilli, apparently with axial symmetry. Scale bar: 500 nm.
