Endothelial cell

From IKE

Endothelial cells are cells of the liver that line the sinusoids and have fenestrae, which provide a graded barrier between the sinusoid and space of Disse. The size of the fenestrae determines the exchange of fluids and size of particular matter to and from the space of Disse and the hepatocyte. These cells are active in clearing macromolecules and small particles from the circulation. They also act as scavenger cells, removing harmful enzymes and pathogens.
