Arteriole. Light micrograph of a section through an arteriole,part of the arterial system. Formed from the larger diameter arteries,this vessel contains many red blood cells (erythrocytes). The vessel wall (the tunica media) is typically wide and comprises several layers of smooth muscle which serves to control the size of the arteriole through constriction and relaxation.
