Descriptor endotelio linfático
Scope note: Cubierta celular continua (íntima) de los vasos linfáticos (ej. el endotelio de las vénulas linfáticas). Es más permeable que el endotelio vascular, carece de la absorción selectiva y su función principal consiste en retirar las proteínas plasmáticas que se han filtrado a través de los capilares hacia los espacios tisulares.
