Detailed explanation-1: -It is generally the thickest layer in arteries, and it is much thicker in arteries than it is in veins. The tunica media consists of layers of smooth muscle supported by connective tissue that is primarily made up of elastic fibers, most of which are arranged in circular sheets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries and arterioles have relatively thick muscular walls because blood pressure in them is high and because they must adjust their diameter to maintain blood pressure and to control blood flow.
Detailed explanation-3: -The walls of the arteries are thick and elastic. This is because, as mentioned before, the pressure of the blood that is pumped out from the heart is high, and it is important for the artery to have a strong wall so that it does not burst.
