Fig. 10.3 The rough surface of the endothelium as imaged using scanning force microscopy (from
[ 35 ]). Arrows point to granular structures on EC's surfaces, white line marks scanning line for
height profile evaluation, and scale bar corresponds to 5 m m

to be about 15 m high [ 35 ]) form a continuous, undulated wall

layer above which blood is flowing. At such mesoscopic scale, the wall may be
considered as a smoothly corrugated idealized surface constituted by a regular array

m m long by 0.5 m
