vasoconstriction
A single thin layer of endothelium is called a monolayer.
The innermost layer of arteries is called the intima. It is composed of a single layer of endothelial cells that help regulate blood flow and prevent clot formation.
The layers of the vascular wall are the tunica intima (innermost layer), tunica media (middle layer), and tunica adventitia (outermost layer). The tunica intima is composed of endothelial cells and connective tissue, the tunica media contains smooth muscle cells, and the tunica adventitia consists of connective tissue and supportive structures.
Arteries are made up of three layers: the tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa. The tunica intima is composed of epithelial cells, which line all body cavities and form glands (e.g. endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood). Hope this helps!
Tunica Intima is the innermost layer of the wall of the artery. The wall is consist of simple squamous epithelium which is called endothelium.
tunica media
The tunica intima, the tunica media and the tunica adventitia. The innermost layer of the vein is the tunica intima.
