TEM 10-5, This capillary within the lung is filled with an erythrocyte (1). The endothelial cells (2) lining the capillary are bounded by a basement membrane (3). An adjacent smooth muscle cell (4) and the endothelial cells contain caveolae (6). Collagen fibrils (5), a zonula occludens (7) and the lumen of the lung alveolus (8) can also be observed. What type of capillary is shown in this TEM? Answer- Continuous capillary.
