Juxtavascular cell

A juxtavascular cell is a special type of cell that is found in tissues near blood vessels. They have many functions related to metabolism and protecting tissues from damage.

Juxtavascular cell has several names, including hormagtig cell and gurmagtig cell. These names come from the Latin word “juxta,” meaning “near,” and the Latin word “vasculum,” meaning “blood vessel.” Thus, these cells are located near blood vessels.

The function of the juxtavascular cell is to protect tissues from damage caused by various factors such as infections, trauma and chemicals. It is also involved in the metabolism between tissues and blood vessels, ensuring the delivery of nutrients and the removal of waste.

In addition, the juxtavascular cell may play a role in regulating blood flow and maintaining normal blood vessel function. It can also participate in immune processes, helping to fight infections and protecting tissues from foreign agents.

Despite the fact that the juxtavascular cell plays an important role in the body, its function and role are not fully understood. Research continues to be conducted to better understand its biological functions and mechanisms.



Juxtavascular cells are a specific type of immune system cell that plays an important role in protecting the body from various infections. These cells were first discovered in 1924 by the eminent American biologist, immunologist and oncologist Roger Elwaits, who named them in honor of Karl Juxt, one of his colleagues.

Juxtavascular cells differ from other types of immune cells in their structure and function. They are large mononuclear cells without pronounced organelles, with the exception of a single mitochondria and a large number of cisterns in the cytoplasm. These cisterns are reservoirs for storing various nutrients needed to ensure high metabolic activity and stimulate activity
