Abstract

Ultrastructural analysis on organization of the slug microvessel walls (arterioles, capillaries and venules) has been performed. Transport canals of endothelial cells in the capillaries and venules have been estimated. A conclusion is made that in the evolutionary process of development the vascular endothelium becomes more specialized.
