Section of a cat tongue.

This field shows cross sections of a large arteriole (A), a small arteriole (arrowhead), large and small nerves (Ne) and a venule (V) with valves (Va).

The large arteriole shows two concentric layers of smooth muscle cells. The small arteriole shows a single layer of smooth muscle cells. In both vessels the adventitia is limited to a small amount of connective tissue.
