6 Questions
Match the following layers of a vessel with their descriptions:
Tunica intima = Single layer of endothelial cells forming the vessel lining, basement membrane and a layer of elastic fibers Tunica media = Concentric layers of smooth muscle cells Tunica externa = Strong connective tissue Capillaries = Walls composed of only endothelial cells and basement membrane
Match the following vessel layers with their components:
Tunica intima = Endothelial cells, basement membrane, elastic fibers Tunica media = Smooth muscle cells Tunica externa = Connective tissue Capillaries = Endothelial cells, basement membrane
Match the following components with the vessel layer they belong to:
Endothelial cells, basement membrane, elastic fibers = Tunica intima Smooth muscle cells = Tunica media Connective tissue = Tunica externa Endothelial cells, basement membrane = Capillaries
Match the vessel layers with the correct order from inner to outer:
Tunica intima = First Tunica media = Second Tunica externa = Third Capillaries = Not included in the order
Match the vessel layers with their primary characteristics:
Tunica intima = Single layer of endothelial cells Tunica media = Concentric layers of smooth muscle cells Tunica externa = Strong connective tissue Capillaries = Uniquely thin walls
Match the vessel layers with their missing component:
Tunica intima = No smooth muscle cells Tunica media = No endothelial cells Tunica externa = No elastic fibers Capillaries = No elastic fibers or VSM
