Tunica media is the middle, thickest layer of blood vessels and is made up of yellow (elastin) fibres and envoluntary or unstriped or smooth muscle fibres. Tunica externa is rich in collagen fibres but has less elastin fibres, while tunica interna is made up of a single layer of simple squamous epithelial cells (endothelium) and yellow elastin fibres.
