Draw a histological picture of a vein and artery. Use the above microscopic picture for your drawing. Draw it in color and label the following. Histology of Vessels Locate the 3 layers in each vessel wall: Tunica intima (find the endothelium), media (find smooth muscle fibers), and externa (find elastic connective tissue). Note the size and shape of the lumen of the artery compared to that of the vein. Label the vein and artery. Label the 3 layers in the wall of each vessel.
