In an artery this is smaller than a vein.Tunica intima - This is a thin layer on the innermost section of the artery. It is made up of squamous epithelium cels, allowing the blood to move quickly across them at a high pressure.Tunica media - This is the layer in the middle of the artery. This is the thickest layer of the three. It is mostly made up of smooth muscle fibres and collagen fibres.Tunica externa - This is the outermost layer. It is mostly made up of collagen fibres, though it does have a few smooth muscle fibres.This applies to all arteries, not just the aorta.
