A simplified transverse histology diagram of a microvessel shows a central blood-filled lumen encircled by an endothelial cell layer, with a single pericyte positioned abluminally within the basement membrane. The image illustrates a cell–tissue hierarchy: a mural cell (pericyte) closely apposed to capillary endothelium in the microvasculature. In vascular biology and physiology, pericytes stabilize capillary walls, regulate microvascular tone and permeability, and support angiogenesis through interactions with the ECM (extracellular matrix) and the BM (basement membrane).
