Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood. Endothelial cells also generate an antithrombotic surface that facilitates transit of plasma and cellular constituents throughout the vasculature. As a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and inducible metabolic and synthetic functions. The endothelial cell reacts with physical and chemical stimuli within the circulation and regulates hemostasis, vasomotor tone, and immune and inflammatory responses. In addition, the endothelial cell is pivotal in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.
Endothelial and epethelilal cells are the two different cell types which sandwich together the tissue. On the blood side is the endothelial cells (endo, meaning inside), and on the outer side are the epethelial cells. For example the epethelial cell layer are the cells that coat the intetestine wall, and thus absorb nutrients and the the endothelial cells are the cells that face the blood,and release those nutrients into the blood.

Pericytes consist of contractile cells that interact with the endothelial cells by covering them. The endolethial cell holds capillaries and venules.
Endothelial cells also known as epithernal tissue.
Granulation tissue is derived from the endothelial lining of blood vessels.
Capillaries. Since they are only once endothelial cell thick, they can exchange gas, nutrients, and waste across their membrane. Capillaries in the brain have endothelial cells close together to onyl allow a slecetive exchange of materials, while capillaries in the kidney or liver have gaps between the endothelial cells to allow the exchange of a lot of materials.
