Exogenous substances such as trypan blue and horseradish peroxidase administered intraventricularly are taken up by granular pericytes in cerebral fine vessels. These cells are provided with elongated and complicated infoldings. Pinocytotic vesicles occur often along the infoldings, and ends of infoldings are swollen and assume vesicular shapes. The specific morphology of the granular perithelial cells is considered to favor a removal of metabolic wates in cerebral tissue.
