Blood Vessel Tunics The innermost layer of a blood vessel wall is the tunica intima (too'ni-ka in-ti'ma; intimus = inmost), or tunica interna. It is composed of an endothelium (a simple squamous epithelium lining the blood vessel lumen) and a subendothelial layer made up of a thin layer of areolar connective tissue. The tunica media (me'de-a; medius = middle) is the middle layer of the vessel wall. It is composed of circularly arranged layers of smooth muscle cells. Sympathetic innervation causes the smooth muscle to contract, resulting in vasoconstriction (va'so-kon-strik'shun), or narrowing of the blood vessel lumen.

Endothelium Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells. Endothelial cells in direct contact with blood are called vascular endothelial cells, whereas those in direct contact with lymph are known as lymphatic endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial cells line the entire circulatory sys

Circulatory System Tunica Intima: A thin endothelial lining, (in some veins, you may be able to see the valves). Tunica Media: This layer contains 2-3 layers of muscle cells. Tunica Adventitia: This is the broadest layer. It contains longitudinal collagen fibres, and vasa vasorum.

- 1. 3 Layers in arterial walls (are also known as tunics): a. Tunica interna-innermost layer. Also known as the tunica intima. 1) Surrounds a central blood-containing space known as the lumen. 2) Lined with endothelium (simple squamous epithelium). This tissue. reduces friction as blood moves through the lumen. b. Tunica media-composed primarily of smooth muscle tissue and elastic tissue. 1) This smooth muscle is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. and various chemicals. 2) Vasoconstriction (reduction in lumen diameter due to smooth muscle. contraction) and Vasodilation (widening of the lumen due to smooth. muscle relaxation) both occur in the tunica media.

Endothelium For the endothelium of the cornea, see corneal endothelium. Endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells.hese cells have unique functions in vascular biology. These functions include fluid filtration, such as in the glomeruli of the kidney, blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, and hormone trafficking. Endothelium of the interior surfaces of the heart chambers is called endocardium.

Endothelium Both blood and lymphatic capillaries are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells called a monolayer. In straight sections of a blood vessel, vascular endothelial cells typically align and elongate in the direction of fluid flow.ndothelial cells in direct contact with blood are called vascular endothelial cells, whereas those in direct contact with lymph are known as lymphatic endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillaries.

- Endothelial Cells Line All Blood Vessels. The largest blood vessels are arteries and veins, which have a thick, tough wall of connective tissue and and many layers of smooth muscle cells (Figure 22-22). The wall is lined by an exceedingly thin single sheet of endothelial cells, the endothelium, separated from the surrounding outer layers by a basal lamina.

- If you don't intentionally inhale cigar smoke, you can still absorb large amounts of nicotine through the lining of your mouth. Overall, smoking cigars instead of cigarettes doesn't reduce your risk of nicotine dependence. Just like cigarettes, smoking cigars can have some harmful effects on your health.

Blood Vessel Layers: Tunica Intima, Tunica Media & Tunica Adventitia Layers of Blood Vessel Walls. Like a busy highway, your blood vessels have to be well-constructed to withstand all the pressure that comes with circulating your blood every minute of every day. To help stand up to the high demand, the walls of the blood vessels are constructed of three layers known as tunics. Tunica Intima The tunica intima is the innermost layer of the arteries and veins.

- The tunica adventitia is the outermost layer of the arteries and veins. The word 'adventitia' in tunica adventitia comes from the Latin 'adventicius,' which means 'coming from outside.' This strong outer layer is composed of connective tissue that allows the blood vessel to withstand forces acting on the vessel wall.ll arteries and veins contain three layers. The innermost layer is called the tunica intima. The muscular middle layer is called the tunica media, and the outermost layer is called the tunica adventitia.
