It is however overexpressed in the context of several medical conditions, such as cancer [3] or fibrosis, [4] particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [ 11 ] In line with the finding that αvβ6-integrin is expressed by epithelial cells , [ 12 ] an elevated density of αvβ6 is observed on the cell surfaces of many carcinomas (synonymous to ...

They run between the pulmonary segments from which they drain the blood. [1] At the root of the lung, the right superior pulmonary vein lies in front of and a little below the pulmonary artery; the inferior is situated at the lowest part of the lung hilum. Behind the pulmonary artery is the bronchus. [2]
A venule is a very small vein in the microcirculation that allows blood to return from the capillary beds to drain into the venous system via increasingly larger veins. Post-capillary venules are the smallest of the veins with a diameter of between 10 and 30 micrometres (μm).
In the human descending aorta, vasa vasorum cease to supply the arterial tunica media with oxygenated blood at the level of the renal arteries. [5] Thus, below this point, the aorta is dependent on diffusion for its metabolic needs, and is necessarily markedly thinner.
The microcirculation is the circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels, the microvessels of the microvasculature present within organ tissues. [1] The microvessels include terminal arterioles, metarterioles, capillaries, and venules.
In the worst case, a deep vein thrombosis can extend, or a part of a clot can break off as an embolus and lodge in a pulmonary artery in the lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism. The decision to treat deep vein thrombosis depends on its size, symptoms, and their risk factors.
Otherwise, blood would accumulate in either the systemic or pulmonary circulations. Although cardiac output and venous return are interdependent, each can be independently regulated. The circulatory system is made up of two circulations (pulmonary and systemic) situated in series between the right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV).
