In this Trichrome stained large vein, identify the tunica intima, tunica media, and the thick tunica advetitia. The tunica adventitia primarily contains collagen (blue) and dark-red smooth muscle cells. Note the collapsed lumen, caused by the lack of elasticity in venous walls. UCLA Histology Collection
