Structure of Blood Vessels — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe blood flows strictly by a fixed route through Blood Vessels—the arteries and veins. Basically, each artery and vein consists of three layers: an inner lining of squamous endothelium, the tunica intima, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibres, the tunica media, and an external layer of fibrous connective tissue with collagen fibres, the tunica externa. The tunica media is comparatively thin in the veins.
Which layer is NOT part of the blood vessel walls?
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — Tunica cordis
Blood vessels are composed of three layers: intima, media, and externa — no tunica cordis exists.
