Description |
The internal elastic membrane (IEM), a component of the tunica intima, separates the tunica intima from tunica media. The lumen of blood vessels (including the heart) is lined by simple squamous endothelium. The nuclei of the endothelium are visible here. Identify the sheet-like laminae of elastic fibers in the tunica media. UCLA Histology Collection. |
