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).
