Which tunic of the artery contains endothelium?
tunica media
What is tunica interna?
It lines the lumen of the vessels, and is a thin layer of endothelium.
Why does the tunica interna exhibit folds?
The folds of the tunica interna, also known as the endothelium, allow for expansion and contraction during changes in blood flow or pressure. This flexibility helps to accommodate variations in blood volume and maintain proper vascular function.
What is a single thin layer of endothelium called?
A single thin layer of endothelium is called a monolayer.
What tissue makes up the blood vessel inner tunic?

Why does tunica interna of the vasoconstricted section of the arteriole exhibit folds?
These are venous valves.
What is the innermost layer of a blood vessel composed of endothelial cells?
