Artery (ar*-ter-e) [arteria;

 are the tube-like vessels

 They end in arterioles and 

 capillaries. They are com- 

 posed of three layers : the 

 outer, or tunica adventitia; 

 the middle, or tunica 

 media, the muscular coat ; 

 the internal, or intima, 

 composed of nucleated en- 

 dothelial cells, connective 

 and elastic tissue. A. 

 Terminal, an artery 

 whose branches do not 

 form anastomoses with 

 other arteries. A table of 

 the arteries is appended.
