Endothelium, Lymphatic

Medical Definition: Unbroken cellular lining (intima) of the lymph vessels (e.g., the high endothelial lymphatic venules). It is more permeable than vascular endothelium, lacking selective absorption and functioning mainly to remove plasma proteins that have filtered through the capillaries into the tissue spaces.
Previously Indexed: Endothelium (1973-1987),Epithelium (1966-1987),Lymphatic System or specific (1966-1987)
