Descriptor English: Extracellular Vesicles
Descriptor Spanish: Vesículas Extracelulares
Descriptor vesículas extracelulares
Scope note: Estructuras limitadas de la membrana derivadas de las membranas celulares y del material citoplasmático, liberado al espacio extracelular. Circulan a través del fluido extracelular y a través de la sangre periférica en la microvasculatura, donde las células, mucho más grandes no pueden afectar a una variedad de procesos de comunicación intercelulares.

Scope note: Membrane limited structures derived from cell membranes and cytoplasmic material, and released into EXTRACELLULAR SPACE. They circulate through the EXTRACELLULAR FLUID and through the peripheral blood in the MICROVASCULATURE where cells, much larger, cannot, thereby affecting a variety of intercellular communication processes.
