Description
Light micrograph of a longitudinal section of a large vein showing the layers of its wall. From the lumen, located at the top of the image, we observe: a tunica intima with the endothelium and a thin subendothelial connective tissue. A medium layer formed by a few bundles of circular cross sectioned myocytes. The majority of the wall is occupied by intermingled bundles of collagen fibres belonging to the tunica adventitia. Magnification: x180 when printed at 10 centimetres across.
