Arteries do have muscles that make them dilate or constrict when propelling blood. Most of the arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to different body parts. However, pulmonary artery, the only artery that carries unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these vessels depend s on its elasticity to propel blood along?
Arteries
Which vessels depends on its elasticity ot propel blood along?
Arteries rely on their elasticity to help propel blood along by expanding and contracting with each heartbeat. This elasticity allows arteries to accommodate the surge of blood pumped from the heart and then maintain pressure during diastole.
Which of the vessels depend on its elasticity to propel blood flow?
arteries
What is the lining of arteries and veins made of that helps them propel blood?
smooth muscle
Which blood vessels uses elasticity to push blood further along the bloodstream?

In the context of the blood vessels that supply blood to the kidneys what are the arteries that originate from the arcuate arteries and supply blood to the renal cortex called Hint?
The arteries that originate from the arcuate arteries and supply blood to the renal cortex are called interlobular arteries. These arteries branch off from the arcuate arteries, which run along the boundary between the renal cortex and medulla, and then extend into the cortex, providing oxygenated blood to the nephron structures within.
Which blood vessels supply blood to the heart muscle?
The heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood by the coronary arteries. Along with the oxygenated blood, the arteries also supplies the heart muscle with nutrient-filled blood.
What is a circluatory system?
A circulatory system is a system that circulates something, around and around and around.The system of veins and arteries in our bodies is a circulatory system. The blood is pumped by the heart along the arteries to various parts of our bodies. The blood delivers nutrients to the various organs, muscles, tissues of our body. The blood is then returned to the heart along the veins. The heart pumps the used blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated and pumped along the arteries again.
Why is the blood pressure higher in the arteries?
The heart pumps the blood through the arteries, causing the arteries to be under pressure. The veins are under very little pressure as they are the vessels that collect the deoxygenated blood on it's way back to the heart. The venous blood is helped along by the movement of the muscles in the body as the body moves.
Which vessel does blood flow the fastest?
Blood flows the fastest in the arteries because they have thick muscular walls that help propel blood throughout the body at high pressure.
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
Arteries.
Do veins have thick elastic walls?
No, arteries have thicker walls because blood pumps through the arteries around the body, therefore blood pumps through arteries which a high pressure so thick walls are needed. Blood goes through veins with a lower pressure as they lead back to the heart to be oxygenated.
