This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
General features
Closed tubes (except spleen) |
Variable wall |
Permeable (only capillaries) |
Layers of elastic artery
Tunica intima(Inner layer) |
:epithelium:endothelial cell,sub endothelial ct,smooth muscle |
Tunica media (middle layer) |
Thickest layer,mostly made of smooth muscle arranged in parallel and elastic lamina |
Tunica adventitia(outermost) |
Typical dense irregular ct (collagen bundle,fibrocyte/blast) |
—vasa vasorum:bld vessel mostly found in Adventitia but could be found in media supplies the wall of the heart |
—elastic lamina: sheet of elastin, open not solid sometimes interconnected |

-> lymph |
Muscular/distributing arteries:smaller less elastic |
