From: Biochemical and morphological changes in endothelial cells in response to hypoxic interstitial edema
Ultrastructural appearance of the thin portion of the air-blood barrier. Micrographs at transmission electron microscope of the air-blood barrier in control lungs (A), in hypoxia (B) and in cardiogenic edema (C) at high magnification (x66000). CL, capillary lumen; AS, alveolar space; EN, endothelium; PV, plasmalemmal vesicle; BM, basement membrane; EP, epithelium. Scale bar = 0.5 μm.
