tunica intima

The interior is lined with endothelial cells called tunica intima.

These are infoldings of the tunica intima.

It separates tunica intima from tunica media.

It lies between the tunica intima on the inside and the tunica externa on the outside.

It is characterized by fibrosis of the tunica intima and calcification of the tunica media.

Coronary artery dissection results from a tear in the inner layer of the artery, the tunica intima.

The tunica intima (or just intima) is the innermost layer of an artery or vein.

The stola was a long, pleated dress, worn over an undergarment called a tunic or tunica intima (the Roman version of a slip).

The innermost layer, which is in direct contact with the flow of blood is the tunica intima, commonly called the intima.

Foam cells form the fatty streaks of the plaques of atheroma in the tunica intima of arteries.

The vascular wall consists of several layers known as the tunica adventitia, tunica media, and tunica intima.

Intimal hyperplasia is the thickening of the tunica intima of a blood vessel as a complication of a reconstruction procedure or endarterectomy.

The middle coat (tunica media) is distinguished from the inner (tunica intima) by its color and by the transverse arrangement of its fibers.

Arterial dissection of the carotid arteries occurs when a small tear forms in the innermost lining of the arterial wall (known as the tunica intima).

Most are true aneurysms that involve all three layers (tunica intima, tunica media and tunica adventitia), and are generally asymptomatic before rupture.

In arteries and veins the inner wall is the tunica intima, the outer wall is the tunica adventitia, and they are separated by the tunica media.

The internal elastic lamina or internal elastic lamella is a layer of elastic tissue that forms the outermost part of the tunica intima of blood vessels.

The ensuing inflammation leads to formation of atheromatous plaques in the arterial tunica intima, a region of the vessel wall located between the endothelium and the tunica media.

Intima-media thickness (IMT), also called intimal medial thickness, is a measurement of the thickness of tunica intima and tunica media, the innermost two layers of the arterial wall.

When the endothelial cell in the tunica intima of an artery is stretched it is likely that the endothelial cell may signal constriction to the muscle cell layer in a paracrine fashion.

The walls of secondary branches of the artery were 180 5 μm in thickness and consisted of an inner endothelial layer (tunica intima), a tunica media and an outer tunica adventitia (Fig.

It is used to characterize arteries throughout the human body which have shown significant deterioration of their tunica intima (and occasionally the tunica media), weakening the vessel walls and causing the artery to elongate and distend.

It is characterized by generalised calcification of the arterial internal elastic lamina, leading to rupture of the lamina and occlusive changes in the tunica intima with stenosis and decreased elasticity of the vessel wall.

The inner coat (tunica intima) can be separated from the middle (tunica media) by a little maceration, or it may be stripped off in small pieces; but, on account of its friability, it cannot be separated as a complete membrane.

Tunica intima (the thinnest layer): a single layer of simple squamous endothelial cells glued by a polysaccharide intercellular matrix, surrounded by a thin layer of subendothelial connective tissue interlaced with a number of circularly arranged elastic bands called the internal elastic lamina.
