The article deals with histological properties of the endothelium of the major vessels in mammals and in man. Biological features of this tissue and analysis of its organization are discussed. The material presented justifies consideration of the endothelial lining of the major vessels and veins as a specialized tissue of the vascular system which retains its capacity of capillaroformation. Its epitheliomorphic character and belonging to the angiodermal type of tissues are beyond doubt.
