Human renal biopsies were examined electron microscopically to investigate the intercellular relationships between endothelium and smooth muscle in renal arterioles. Three types of contacts were seen occurring through perforations in the basal lamina. These were classified by their origin either, from an endothelial cell, from a smooth muscle cell or from both. The cell processes involved were usually irregular but some were identified as club-shaped. The nature of the contacts was predominantly via simple appositions with an intercellular space of 6.9-13 nm. These myoendothelial contacts may play an important role as sensors of hypertensive load.
对人类肾脏活检组织进行电子显微镜检查，以研究肾小动脉内皮细胞和平滑肌细胞之间的细胞间关系。通过基膜上的穿孔可见三种类型的接触。根据其起源，这些接触可分为来自内皮细胞、来自平滑肌细胞或来自两者。所涉及的细胞突起通常不规则，但有些被鉴定为棒状。接触的性质主要是通过简单并置，细胞间隙为6.9-13纳米。这些肌内皮接触可能作为高血压负荷的传感器发挥重要作用。
