Question

Describe histological structure ? artery, vein & copillary

Answer 1

Answer:

Capillaries consist of a single layer of epithelial cells, the endothelium tunic (tunica intima). Veins and arteries both have two further tunics that surround the endothelium: the middle, tunica media is composed of smooth muscle, while the outer tunica externa is connective tissue (collagen and elastic fibers).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Blood vessel layers: Arteries and veins consist of three layers: an outer tunica externa, a middle tunica media, and an inner tunica intima. Capillaries consist of a single layer of epithelial cells, the endothelium tunic (tunica intima). ... The veins are thinner walled as the pressure and rate of flow are much lower.
