Type A of mucosal blood flow. a and b can be classified into type A blood flow. a shows a typical type A blood flow and the gland is regularly arranged. The capillaries in the lamina propria interstitial space are located around the gland. This type of blood flow is mainly distributed in the transverse and descending colon of healthy people. In b, the number of capillaries is slightly increased and the width of the lamina propria interstitial space is slightly different. The proliferating capillaries are still parallel to other blood flow and along the glands. This type of blood flow is distributed in healthy subjects and is also found in the unaffected segments of UC patients
