Vedclass · Answer

(C) The wall of blood vessels consists of three layers: $Tunica 	ext{ intima}$ (innermost), $Tunica 	ext{ media}$ (middle), and $Tunica 	ext{ externa}$ (outermost).In arteries, the $Tunica 	ext{ media}$ is thick and muscular to withstand high blood pressure.In veins, the $Tunica 	ext{ media}$ is comparatively much thinner than in arteries because the blood pressure in the venous system is significantly lower.Therefore, the $Tunica 	ext{ media}$ is the layer that is characteristically thin in veins.
