Blood vessels are composed of three tunics: the tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa. The tunica intima is the innermost layer, providing a smooth surface for blood flow and regulating vessel diameter. The tunica media, the middle layer, consists of smooth muscle and elastic fibers, allowing for the regulation of blood pressure and flow by contracting or relaxing. The tunica externa, the outer layer, provides structural support and protection, anchoring the vessels to surrounding tissues.
