Arteriole

This arteriole was cut in longitudinal section and, hence, the single layer of circularly arranged, smooth muscle fibers in tunica media are cut in cross section. The tunica intima consists of a simple squamous epithelium, which is particularly evident in this orientation. The connective tissue of tunica adventitia blends with the surrounding connective tissue. 1000x
