Vein Histology: A Closer Look at the Tunica Media Layer

In a recent educational video, Dr. Aleksandra Zuraw of Digital Pathology Place explains the structure of the tunica media in veins as observed under a microscope. The tunica media, the middle layer of a vein wall, is primarily composed of smooth muscle and elastic fibers, which allow the vein to contract and regulate blood flow. This short lesson is part of a series aimed at making histology accessible to students and professionals. The video, which has garnered 180 views, also promotes Dr. Zuraw's free eBook and digital pathology courses.
