[Morpho-functional characteristics of vascular endothelial cells affected by hemodynamic factors]
Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells are most widely distributed of all cells in a living body, which have a complicated structure and many physiologic functions. It was reviewed in present paper that the structural and functional changes in the vascular endothelial cells were as a result of the stimulation from hemodynamics associated machanical factors, such as shear stress cyclic strain, and pressure in physical and pathophysical state.
