[Ultrastructure of the subepithelial capillaries and venules in the forestomach of sheep].
Described is the ultrastructure of the subepithelial capillaries and venules in the forestomach, of sheep. The vessels have proved to be fenestrated, with an entire endothelial lining, the fenestrae being closed by a well contoured membrane (diaphragm). Certain differences were established in the wall of the subepithelial vessels of the individual compartments of the forestomach. The fenestral portions are usually located at the side that is closer to the basal epithelium, while within the deeper layers they are replaced by nonfenestrated endothelium. A well defined pericapillary space, full of cross, olblique, and longitudinal collagen fibres was found between capillaries and epithelial basal cells. There were a number of ultrastructural findings in the walls of the capillaries, venules, and epithelium, which could be referred to as morphologic indices of the active transport of metabolic substances.
