“…This structure is assumed to represent a `small pore system' proposed by physiologists in relation to the transendothelial transport mechanism (LANDIS and PAPPENHEIMER,1963). However, the occasional occurrence of the stratified lamina f enestrata has been reported in the glomerular capillary of both the rat and rabbit kidney (WOLFF and MERKER, 1966;YOSHINARI and FUJITA, 1982;FUJITA and MIYOSHI, 1985), and in the sinusoidal endothelium of the liver and adrenal cortex of monkeys and guinea pigs (NOZAKI and MIYOSHI, 1984;OHATA et al, 1984). Furthermore, the lamina fenestrata has been described as occurring even on the thickened perikaryal portions of the glomerular endothelium of the kidney, designated as pored domes (YOSHINARI and FUJITA, 1982).…”

Summary. The fine structure of the stratified lamina f enestrata of the mouse glomerulus was described in detail in both transmission and scanning electron microscopy. We propose to name the extremely developed structure of the stratified lamina fenestrata as the alveolus endothelialis. It consists of numerous small irregular spaces partitioned by thin cytoplasmic processes. Individual spaces communicate with each other through the fenestra surrounded by the cytoplasmic partitions.This structure occurs not only on the basal lamina but also on the perikaryal portion of the endothelium. The constant appearance of the alveolus fenestratus without association of any pathological or degenerative changes suggests that this structure represents a certain general and fundamental feature of the fenestrated endothelial cell. Possible mechanisms for the genesis of this structure are briefly discussed.
