KROK 1 2018 – Question 155 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology
An electron micrograph shows a small vessel with endothelial layer but without basement membrane and pericytes; anchoring fibrils are present. Name this vessel:
- A. Sinusoid hemocapillary
- B. Arteriole
- C. Visceral hemocapillary
- D. Lymph capillary
- E. Venule
Hint
Use the ultrastructural clues: decide which small vessels normally have a basement membrane and pericytes, and what anchoring fibrils say about the function of a vessel that lacks them.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
