While the provided reference focuses on types of endothelium based on location (vascular vs. lymphatic), it doesn't provide another name for endothelium itself. However, we can infer some relevant information and expand on the topic. Because the question asks for another name for endothelium itself, the answer is that the reference does not provide one.
The reference does highlight that:
- Endothelial cells lining blood vessels are specifically called vascular endothelial cells.
- Endothelial cells lining lymphatic vessels are called lymphatic endothelial cells.
- Vascular endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system.
Therefore, while there isn't a direct synonym given, the reference clarifies the specific terminology used depending on location. A more specific question this reference could answer is "What are the types of endothelium?" to which the answer would be vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells.
