Histo-Tips: When differentiating between artierioles and capillaries remember that artierioles have 1-3 smooth muscle layers while capillaries have none, and if you see a single red blood cell filling the whole lumen it is definitely a capillary.
The section you have labeled as TI is the TM. Then the TM/TA area is just TA. In veins, you see none or just a few layers of smooth muscle, and then a larger amount of tunica adventitia. You often can't see the tunica intima - that's ok if it's not visible in your image.
