The cardiovascular system consists of four basic tissues: epithelium, connective tissue, nerves, and muscle. It includes the heart and blood vessels like arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries have three layers - the tunica intima lined with endothelium, the tunica media containing smooth muscle cells, and the tunica adventitia composed of connective tissue. Veins are similar but have thinner layers and can collapse. Capillaries have only a single layer of endothelium and connective tissue. The heart contains structures like the intercalated discs that connect cardiomyocytes.
