(you mean "do areteries pump blood at a high pressure?")
areteries do pump blood at high pressure when they are entering the heart.but it flows out at a slower pressure as it is entering the capillaries.the arteries a very narrow tubes and so for a successful flow the blood pumps into the heart quickly.

What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of an artery called?
High Blood Pressure!
What two features of the circulatory system may produce high blood pressure?
Two features of the cirulatory sytem that might produce high blood pressure are heart rate and artery size. If your hert is beating fast, it will push blood rapidly through the arteries, building up blood pressure. If your artery size are small, then the narrow or partly clogged arteries produce high blood pressure. A third option would be artery elasticity. If you artery looses their elasticity and becomes hard, it may also produce high blood pressure as well. Hope that answers your question!! ;)
How does the structure arteries enable them to withstand high pressure?
The heart is awesome. it pumps the blood and fills the arteries making them high in blood pressure. --3

Which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest pressure?
Pulmonary arterial system has high pressure but low oxygen concentration.
Why would the pressure be different in the pulmonary artery during a heart beat?
The pressure in the pulmonary artery is different to that of the aorta for two reasons. The right side of the heart which pumps the blood to the pulmonary artery and subsequently the lungs has less muscle, resulting in a weaker contraction and a weaker pressure. The reason the right side is smaller is because the blood pressure does not need to be high as the de-oxygenated blood travelling through the pulmonary artery is only being carried to the lungs for re-oxygenation. This is unlike the left side which needs to pump oxygenated blood around the entire body, thus resulting in higher and stronger muscle mass and a higher blood pressure.
What heart chamber is called the high pressure pump?
Left Ventricle, because it pumps blood to the systemic circuit whereas the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
Name the blood vessel that brings blood under high pressure to the kidney?
Renal Artery. Source: Ya ma
Blood pressure is in the?
If the blood pressure is very high, then I would recommend to see a doctor who will be able to thoroughly examine and diagnosis the possible causes of why the blood pressure is raising so high.
Circle the following term that does not belong in each what groupings High pressure Vein Artery Spurting blood?
high, vein
How have arteries adapted to carry blood away from the heart?
The heart pumps the blood out in high pressure so the artery walls are strong and elastic,the walls are thick and contains thick layers of muscle to make them strong , and elastic fibres to allow them to stretch and spring back
