[edit] What about the lymphatic system?
I am not a medical expert, but I think that the endothelium also lines up the lymphatic system, not just the blood circulatory system. This feature of the endothelium is also pointed out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium. Consequently this article needs to be updated to include the lymphatic system as well.

I don't think that the endothelium actually reduces turbulence. At that level the Reynolds number of so small as to inhibit turbulence. This sentence ought to be edited out. In fact the endothelium is one of the most active transporters of membrane potential and chemical messaging with in the human body. 111.69.243.225 (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
