important role is to regulate the movement of materials into and out of cells. The phospholipid bilayer structure (fluid mosaic model) with specific membrane. proteins accounts for the selective permeability of the membrane and passive. and active transport mechanisms.
Structure of Blood Vessels a) Three distinct layers or tunics form the walls of blood vessels: ---The tunica interna (tunica intima) is the innermost layer.It contains the endothelium which is a continuation of the endocardial lining of the heart.tructure of Blood Vessels a) Three distinct layers or tunics form the walls of blood vessels: ---The tunica interna (tunica intima) is the innermost layer.
The innermost layer of the heart is called the endocardium. It is made up of a lining of simple squamous epithelium, and covers heart chambers and valves. It is continuous with the endothelium of the veins and arteries of the heart, and is joined to the myocardium with a thin layer of connective tissue.n a healthy heart blood flows one way through the heart due to heart valves, which prevent backflow. The heart is enclosed in a protective sac, the pericardium, which also contains a small amount of fluid. The wall of the heart is made up of three layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium.
