2. Fig. 1
Electron micrograph of normal vein endothelium demonstrates an intact endothelial monolayer immediately above the basement membrane. EC = endothelial cell; CJ = cell junction; N = nucleus; BM = basement membrane. (Original magnification × 18,400.)

3. Fig. 2
Electron micrograph of blood-stored vein after stimulation. Notice that the endothelial cells are detached from the basement membrane. ECR = endothelial cell remnant; BM = basement membrane: ES = empty space. (Original magnification × 18,400.)

4. Fig. 3
Electron micrograph of a saline-stored vein after stimulation. The endothelium was completely destroyed, thereby exposing smooth muscle cells of the medial layer. SMC = smooth muscle cell; D = debris; L = lumen. (Original magnification × 18,400.)
