Here, we here present scanning electron microscope data for the existent telocytes (TCs) on the endothelial surface of the wall of pig coronary arteries, internal thoracic arteries and carotid arteries. These cells have a small (8.39 ± 1.97 μm/4.95 ± 0.91 μm) cell body of different shapes (from round to triangular, depending on the number of cellular prolongations) with very long (of about 30 μm) and thin cellular processes called telopodes (Tps), which have uneven calibre. The number of Tps ranges between 2 and 6. Tps typically present the alternation of podoms and podomers, and also have a dichotomic branching pattern. These data could influence the current attempts for elucidating the role(s) of TCs.
在此，我们展示了猪冠状动脉、胸廓内动脉和颈动脉壁内皮表面现存的端细胞（TCs）的扫描电子显微镜数据。这些细胞具有小的（8.39±1.97μm/4.95±0.91μm）不同形状（从圆形到三角形，取决于细胞延长部分的数量）的细胞体，带有非常长（约30μm）且细的称为端粒（Tps）的细胞突起，其口径不均匀。Tps的数量在2到6之间。Tps通常呈现podom和podomer的交替，并且还具有二叉分支模式。这些数据可能会影响当前阐明TCs作用的尝试。
