Figure 3

Schematic representation of normal tissue (left) and pathological (right) tissue when surgical inflammatory stress is developed. Epithelial necrosis triggers an inflammatory response in the interstitium that is restricted by an endothelial barrier made up of the different types of microcirculatory endothelium. BCE: blood capillary endothelium; E: epithelium; HEVE: high endothelial venule endothelium; I:interstitium; LE: lymphatic endothelium; M: microbiome; NE: necrosed epithelium; PCVE: post-capillary venule endothelium.
