ARTERIOLES. In arterioles, the tunica intima consists of a continuous endothelium and a very thin subendothelial layer. In addition, a thin, fenestrated internal elastic lamina is present in larger arterioles but absent in terminal arterioles. Generally, the tunica media consists of 2 layers of smooth muscle cells.
Tunica interna (intima) - innermost-composed of simple squamous epithelium called endothelium-epithelial tissue lines the inside of hollow organs. Tunica media-middle layer. This layer is much thicker in arteries than in veins.
