Small artery

These small arteries were stained with dyes that demonstrate elastin, thus displaying the internal elastic lamina. This lamina was interrupted in the artery on the left, marking the branch point for a smaller vessel. Only fragments of the external elastic laminae remain here. The endothelial cells are distorted into a cuboid shape resulting from the constriction of the artery. 400x
