Light micrograph of a longitudinal section of a large vein stained with hematoxylin eosin. Compared with an artery, the vein wall lacks internal elastic lamina. The tunica media only has two or three layers of smooth muscle cells. The connective tissue of the adventitia layer occupies almost all of the wall thickness. Magnification: x180 when printed at 10 centimetres across. | |
