Morphological classifications of vertebrate blood capillaries

Bennett, H. Stanley, Luft, John H., Hampton, James C.·1959·American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content

Abstract

Morphological features of blood capillaries from various vertebrate forms and organs are presented. Simple classifications are proposed, based on presence or absence of continuous basement membrane, on the nature of the endothelial cell and on the presence or absence of a complete investment of pericapillary cells. It is suggested that these varying capillary structural features may be relevant to problems relating to exchange of materials between blood plasma and parenchymal cells. Simple three-digit notation systems are presented for characterizing and designating the type of any capillary with respect to the classifications submitted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
