What are the Cellular Components Involved in Drainage?
Several cellular components are involved in drainage processes:
Endothelial Cells: Line the blood and lymphatic vessels, playing a critical role in the regulation of fluid exchange. Smooth Muscle Cells: Found in the walls of larger blood and lymphatic vessels, they help in maintaining vessel tone and facilitating fluid movement. Pericytes: Support the endothelial cells and contribute to vessel stability and permeability.
