Small artery and vein

This image shows a small artery and vein coursing through connective tissue, along with a peripheral nerve. Arteries and veins of similar caliber often travel together in such a neurovascular bundle. These smaller vessels retain the same structural characteristics as larger ones. The small artery has a thick, distinct, muscular tunica media and a narrow lumen, while the vein consists primarily of a tunica adventitia and has a larger lumen. 100x
