Blood vessel - Anatomy
All blood vessels follow the same histological makeup. The inner lining is the endothelium, followed by subendothelial connective tissue. Then follows a muscular layer of vascular smooth muscle, which is highly developed in arteries. Finally, there is a further layer of connective tissue termed the adventitia, which contains nerves that supply the muscular layer, as well as nutrient capillaries in the larger blood vessel.
Capillaries consist of little more than a layer of endothelium and occasional connective tissue.
In anatomy, the term for when a blood vessel joins another to form a region of diffuse vascular supply is known as anastamosis. This is important in several areas around the body, as blockages in one area can mean that anastamoses (plural of anastamosis) makes an alternative route for blood flow.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
