1- Haemostatic Mechanism3

Endothelial cells
The endothelial cell has an active role in the maintenance of
haemostasis. This cell provides the basement membrane that
normally separates collagen, elastin and fibronectin of the
subendothelial connective tissue from the circulating blood. Loss of
or damage to the endothelium results in both haemorrhage and
activation of the haemostatic mechanism. The endothelial cell also
has a potent inhibitory influence on the haemostatic response,
