👉 The term "endothium" refers to a type of capillary-like structure that is found in blood vessels, particularly in arteries. This type of tissue plays an important role in regulating blood flow and preventing clots from forming in the blood vessel walls. The endothelial cells lining these blood vessels are responsible for sensing changes in blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other factors that affect blood flow to prevent a clot from forming or blocking the passage of blood through the blood vessels.
