The different types of Telopode (Tps) contacts and short prolongations, scanning electron microscope images of medium-sized arteries in pig. (A) Telocyte (TC) has four Tps, and two of them form direct contact and exist in the shape of ring (arrow). (B) Two Tps from different TCs form point contacts (arrow). (C) The Tps detach from the endothelial surface. (D) The shorter and thinner prolongations of cell body of a TC. They are apparently different from Tps and microvilli.
