Q

Name the three layers of the tunica intima

A
  1. endothelium: squamous cells
  2. Subendothelium: fuses to form the internal elastic membrane (lamina)

Q

name the three parts of the tunica media

A
  1. smooth muscle fibers- circular around vessels. contraction = vasoconstrition
  2. collagen and elastic fibers: run in btw fibers
    fuse to form external elastic membrane
  3. external elastic membrane: condenses and separates tunica media from adventitia. membrane is absent in veins

Q

What are vasa vasora fxn in tunica adventitia

A

small blood vessels present in adventitia of thick walled vessels. They provide nutrition to the outer layers that fain to receive tissue fluid which diffuses through endothelium into the inner layers
