Figure 1. Figure 1.

Mechanisms of permeation across endothelium. A, passage through cell junctions; B, passage through fenestrae; C, direct passage through cell across plasmalemma; D, passage through connected chains of vesicles; E, vesicular transport; and F, high‐affinity endocytosis.

Figure 2. Figure 2.

Region of endothelial desquamation in thoracic aorta of a 2‐yr‐old pigtail monkey fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 2 yr. Platelets have adhered to exposed subendothelial collagen. Top, intact endothelium. × 2,040.

Figure 3. Figure 3.

Hemostatic plug formation. Platelets are normally nonreactive to intact vascular endothelium. Vessel injury initiates platelet adherence with von Willebrand's factor (vWF) as essential plasma co‐factor. Adherent platelets release densegranule contents, including ADP, and α‐granule contents, including platelet factor 4 (PF4), β‐thromboglobulin (βTG), and platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF). Thrombin is generated locally through tissue factor (XIIα) and platelet procoagulant activity. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is synthesized from arachidonic acid liberated by membrane phospholipases. Released ADP, TXA2, and thrombin recruit additional circulating platelets to the enlarging platelet mass. Thrombin‐generated fibrin stabilizes the platelet mass. Prostacyclin (PGI2) released by the vessel wall in response to thrombin limits thrombus formation by inhibiting further platelet aggregation.
