Seminal Vesicle Microvascular Endothelial Cells (SVMEC)

The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands that are positioned below the urinary bladder and lateral to the vas deferens. Seminal vesicles are located within the pelvis. The seminal vesicles secrete a significant proportion of the fluid that ultimately becomes semen. The SV consists of three layers: the inner basal mucosal layer composed of simple cuboidal and pseudo-stratified columnar epithelial cells, the middle muscular layer formed by smooth muscle cells, and the outer layer made up of dense connective tissue. 

Microvascular endothelial cells play a central role in inflammation, tumor metastasis, wound healing and tissue engineering. They lead to many biological processes, such as hemostasis, coagulation, and lymphocyte trafficking. Microvascular endothelial cells migrate to the damaged site to form a new blood vessel. Seminal vesicle microvascular endothelial cells (SVMEC) are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells in seminal vesicles.
