Bone marrow of a long bone fractured longitudinally. The central vein is opened on the left (blue) and numerous sinuses open into it (tan).
The sinusodial capillaries are larger in diameter than continuous capillaries and have a discontinuous endothelium. This greatly increases their permeability.
Many blood cells (green) are seen attached to the endothelium.
The spaces between the sinusoids are filled with developing blood cells (red). The few large ones (grayscale) probably correspond to megakaryocytes and adipose cells.
