Microcirculation

Abstract

In the current concepts of transcapillary transport by vesicular movement, many problems remain unsolved. Some of these are the synthesis of large amounts of membrane, the fusion of vesicles to the plasma membrane, its breakdown and fate, and the energy required for these processes. These difficulties may be avoided by assuming the existence of an intracellular tubular system which could be responsible for bulk transport across the cell by peristaltic action.
