Overview
Clusters of endocrine cells and endocrine organs are supplied by fenestrated capillaries, which greatly facilitate the entry of hormone into the blood stream. In endocrine organs these fenestrations have a nonmembranous diaphragm across the opening. Endocrine pancreas 28,000x

Basal laminae >
A basal lamina is present beneath the endothelial cells (blue arrows) as well as the endocrine cell (red arrows), as both are types of epithelia.
Loose connective tissue >
The space between the two basal laminae is filled with loose connective tissue.
