Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Blood vessels fall into three major classes:
A
Artery, vein and capillary
B
Have endothelium, a layer of flattenedepithelial cells, has a smooth surface
C
tite
D
Arteries are thick-walled, and linedwith smoothmuscle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The blood vessel wall has three layers: intima, media and adventitia. The intima consists of endothelium and subendothelial connective tissue and is separated from the media by the elastic lamina interna. Endothelial cells form a continuous monolayer lining all blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in direct contact with the blood/lymph and the circulating cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endothelium is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tunica intima: The inner layer surrounds the blood as it flows through your body. Media: The middle layer contains elastic fibers that keep your blood flowing in one direction. Adventitia: The outer layer contains nerves and tiny vessels. 07-Sept-2021
