arteries internal elastic membrane
Tunica media = organized smooth muscle cells. again an external elastic membrane, in
arteries they contain blood vessels inself for muscle, called vasa vasorum
Tunica externa = connective tissue with collagen, some muscle.

Elastic Muscle Arterioles
largest arteries (aorta). stretch clear internal elastic lamina. no external elastic membrane.

Veins: thinner tunica, larger lumen and often contain valves.
