Answer;

-Support and protect the vessel

Explanation;

-The vessel lumen is the central blood-containing space that is surrounded by 3 distinct layers (or tunics). The 3 distinct layers found in most blood vessel walls are; tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa (found in all vessels except the smallest).

-The Tunica intima contains the endothelium, subendothelial layer (only in vessels larger than 1 mm in diameter), and the internal elastic membrane (separates tunica intima from the tunica media).

-The Tunica media is the middle layer of a blood vessel that contains smooth muscle and elastic fibers. It also contains the external elastic membrane (separates the tunica media from the tunica externa). It contains mostly circularly arranged smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastin and functions to maintain blood pressure and circulation.

-The Tunica externa is the outermost layer of a blood vessel. It is composed largely of loosely woven collagen fibers and is infiltrated by nerve fibers; larger vessels have vaso vasorum. They protect and reinforce the blood vessel and anchor it to the surrounding structures.

Seen in some gram-positive bacilli, occurs when only the inner portion of a cell wall is deposited across the dividing cell. this new cross wall puts tension on the outer layer of the old cell wall. eventually, the outer wall breaks at its weakest point with a snapping movement that tears it most of the way around. the daughter cells can then remain hanging together almost side by side being held by a small remnant of the original outer wall. choose from the following statements the ones that correctly discuss reproduction using binary fission in a bacterial cell. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. due to the stretching of the cytoplasmic membrane, both cells will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell will contain an equal number of organelles. the daughter cell will be a permanently smaller copy of the mother cell but will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell is an exact copy of the other, both genetically and morphologically
