KROK 1 2011 – Question 67 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology

A histological specimen shows a blood vessel. Its inner coat is composed by endothelium, subendothelium and internal elastic membrane. The middle coat is enriched with smooth myocytes. Such morphological characteristics are typical for the following vessel:

  1. A. Elastic-type artery
  2. B. Muscular-type vein
  3. C. Non-muscular vein
  4. D. Capillary
  5. E. Muscular-type artery
Hint

Compare the layers in the stem: note which tissue dominates the middle coat and that a distinct internal elastic membrane is present, then ask which vessel types fit both.
