4.2.1 POJA-L2929+4206+4207
Title: Mesothelial cells covering the liver (guinea pig)
Description: Electron microscopy scheme (A, human) and SEM (B, C, guinea pig) of mesothelial cells.
(A) The mesothelial cells (pink colored) or peritoneal epithelium are flattened cells covering a thin capsule of connective tissue cells or fibroblasts (blue) around the liver. The mesothelial cells are provided with microvilli (B, C).Upon activation or stimulation the cells contract and eventually detach from the underlying basal lamina.
(A, 1) Mesothelial cells.
(A, 2) Connective tissue with fibroblast.
(A, 3) Liver parenchymal cell.
(A, 4) Bile canaliculus between two adjacent liver cells.
(A, 7) Hepatic stellate cell or cell of Ito (brown-red).
(8) Sinusoid endothelial cell (Light green-yellow).
(B) View on the surface of active mesothelial cells with microvilli. The cells are cobblestone-like, develop filopodia and villous projections and they are partly detached from their underground.
(C, 5) An elongated macrophage in the center is settled on the underlying basal lamina that is constructed of a fibrous network of collagen and extracellular matrix components.
(C, 6) Are activated mesothelial cells, some of them in the process of contraction.
Keywords/Mesh: liver cell, mesothelial cell, basal lamina, scanning electron microscopy, histology, POJA collection
