Lecture 9 : Blood vessels 2

 Heart valve
1- Fibrosa (F): forms the core of the valve.

2- Spongiosa (S): Loose connective tissue (collagen and elastic fibers) located on the
atrial (auricularis) or blood vessel (arterialis) side of each valve.

3- Ventricularis: dense c.t. and elastic fiber close to ventricular or atrial side

 Types of capillaries
Continuous
Intact basal lamina

No fenestrae

ex. Skeletal muscle

Lecture 9 : Blood vessels 9

 Fenestrated
Fenestrated wall

Intact basal lamina

Diaphragm covered fenestrae

Fenestrated capillaries have pores or fenestration in their endothelial walls

which allow for the passage of small molecules and fluids through the
capillary wall

Example: Kidneys, small intestine, and endocrine glands.

Discontinuous sinusoidal
Enlarge diameter

Endothelial layer discontinuous and separated by spaces

Multiple fenestration without diaphragm

Basal lamina discontinuous

Liver, spleen, B. marrow
