Detailed explanation-1: -The tunica intima is surrounded by a thin membrane comprised of elastic fibers running parallel to the vessel. Surrounding the tunica intima is the tunica media, comprised of smooth muscle cells and elastic and connective tissues arranged circularly around the vessel.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tunica media is the middle portion of the vessel wall and contains smooth muscle cells and connective tissue, whereas the tunica adventitia is composed of connective tissue that is often continuous with the surrounding soft tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -The innermost layer of the vein is the tunica intima. This layer consists of flat epithelial cells. These cells allow fluid to flow smoothly and are interspersed with valves that ensure the flow continues in one direction. This continuous layer of epithelial cells holds cells and fluid within the vessel lumen.
