Medium (muscular) artery

The tunica intima is composed of an endothelium, a subendothelial connective tissue and a prominent internal elastic lamina. The tunica media, composed mostly of smooth muscle, is the thickest layer and extends up to the multilayered external elastic lamina. The tunica adventitia begins at the external elastic lamina and is composed of irregular dense connective tissue. 400x
