tunica
Tunica generally refers to a layer or covering. In a biological context, it specifically refers to a membrane or tissue layer that covers or lines an organ or body structures. For instance, in plants, tunica is a layer of cells that covers and protect the shoot apical meristem. In human anatomy, it applies to several different types of "coverings" such as tunica albuginea in the testes and ovaries or tunica intima in the blood vessels. Derived from Latin, tunica also refers to a basic garment worn by ancient Romans.

Tunica
Tunica is a town in Tunica County, Mississippi, located near the Mississippi River. Until the early 1990s the town was one of the most impoverished places in the United States, semi-famous for the particularly deprived neighborhood known as "Sugar Ditch Alley", named for the open sewer located there. The town now lies on the fringe of a growing gambling resort area, with major casinos attracting visitors from nearby Memphis, Tennessee, West Memphis, Arkansas and all over the Southeast. The town is the fourth community to serve as county seat of Tunica County, succeeding earlier county seats at Commerce, Peyton and Austin.
