Comparative View of Lung Vascular Endothelium of Cattle, Horses, and Water Buffalo.
Endothelium plays an important role in maintaining the vascular barrier and physiological homeostasis. Endothelium also is fundamental to the initiation and regulation of inflammation. Endothelium demonstrates phenotypic and functional heterogeneity not only among various organs but also within an organ. One of the striking examples would be the pulmonary endothelium that participates in creating blood-air barrier. Endothelium in large pulmonary blood vessels is distinct in structure and function from that lining of the pulmonary capillaries. This chapter focuses on the comparative aspects of pulmonary endothelium and highlight unique differences such as the presence of pulmonary intravascular macrophages among select species.
