 * type=""}

{What does it means that endothelial cells have ability to perform transcytosis? (i.e., "What is a transcytosis?") - Organelles of endothelial cells are shared, especially mitochondria are shared intensively and travel from a cell to a cell - They allow to white blood cells cross to leave the blood not only inbetween endothelial cells, but alsou through the cells + They transport compounds throuhg the cytoplasm from one side of the cell to the second side inside endocytic vesilces - Molecular pattern on the blood surface is dynamic and depends strongly on processes in deeper layers of the vessel

 * type=""}

{What is a vaskulogenesis? - Budding if new vessels from existing vessels under pathological condition only - Budding of new vessels from existing vessels during development or adulthood - Abnormal differentiation of new vessels during the embryonic development + Differentiation of new vessels durign embryonic development
 * type=""}

{Where do we find pericytes? + In the wall of capillaries - In the wall of all vessels - In the wall of arteries - In the wall of veins
