Middle Layer is thick and (i.e. is just one cell thick)
Middle layer is thin
have nerve fibers with tiny pores between
and doesn't pulsate
thus it pulsates these cells
have elastic fibers on
top of endothelium -->
provide elasticity in
Less elastic fiber (Rare)
order to withstand the
high pressure of
verticular contraction
