[Stages of endotheliocyte differentiation in the genesis of capillaries in human prenatal morphogenesis].

Blood microvessels of the functionally different human organs were studied by electron microscopy to reveal regularities of cytodifferentiation of endotheliocytes in prenatal morphogenesis. Such stages of differentiation of endotheliocytes were determined: mesenchymal cells----endotheliocytes of pre-existing capillaries ("marginal" cells, primordial endotheliocytes, mature endotheliocytes of pre-existing capillaries)----specialized types of endothelium (somatic, fenestrated, sinusoidal, sinusal types of endothelium, high endothelium of post-capillary venules).
