[Sinusoids of the bone marrow stroma in the human iliac bone]

Results of histological and ultramicroscopic investigations of sinusoid vessels are presented. Interrupted structure of the basal membrane and continuous endothelial lining are revealed. Endotheliocytes of two types are described. At places of blood cells migration functional activity of endothelium is increased and the basal membrane is absent. A suggestion is made that the endothelial cells directly influence hemopoiesis.
