Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The wall of an artery consists of three layers. The innermost layer, the tunica intima (also called tunica interna), is simple squamous epithelium surrounded by a connective tissue basement membrane with elastic fibers. The middle layer, the tunica media, is primarily smooth muscle and is usually the thickest layer.
Detailed explanation-2: -The endothelial cells form a one-cell thick walled layer called endothelium that lines all of our blood vessels such as arteries, arterioles, venules, veins and capillaries.
