The dissections showed that the fascia lata (FL) attaches to the entire extent of the inferior aspect of the iliac crest. In the upper and lateral thigh, the FL receives fibrous contributions from the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata (TFL) to form the ITB.
Tunica media. This is the middle layer. It is made of smooth muscle and elastic fibers. It is responsible for vasodialation and vasoconstriction of the blood vessels. It is also the target tissue for Vasopressin (ADH) Hormone and plays into blood pressure. Tunica adventitia This is the most superficial of the layers.
Intima is the inner most layer that comprise the artery wall. It is a thin wall lines that lines the artery wall with endothelial cells successfully separating blood flow from other layers of the wall of artery. The media is the middle and the thickest of the three walls (Wright, 1993).Media contain strength mechanism like smooth muscles, elastin, and collagen. The last layer, Adventia is the outermost layer of the artery wall that mostly contains collagen.Adventia provides form and strength of the artery wall.ntima is the inner most layer that comprise the artery wall.
