The elastic fibres in the blood vessels basically allow the vessels to expand and to return to their original size.
Tthese changes in size is necessary due to variations in the need for blood to the supplied area.
For example, if an artery was going to a muscle, it should be able to increase its diameter when the muscle is working to bring more blood and oxygen, and to go back to its original size when the muscle rests.

∙ 13y agoSilk fibers are smooth, translucent, rod-like filaments with occasional swellings along their length. The raw silk fiber actually consists of two filaments called fibroin bound by a soluble silk gum called sericin. Fibroin and sericin are made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Silk has several important qualities: (1) It is lower in density than wool, cotton, or rayon. (2) It is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. (3) It is capable of soaking up to 30% of its weight in moisture. (4) It is extremely strong, with a breaking strength as high as 65,000 psi. (5) It will stretch to as much as 20% of its length without breaking. (6) It is thermally stable; it is able to withstand temperatures as high as 284°F (140°C). (7) It becomes smooth, lustrous, and luxurious when processed. (8) It is remarkably resilient, and shows excellent wrinkle recovery.

Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
How much does fiber glass weigh?
Depends on the material of that fiber glass weigh.
Make a sentence with the word fiber glass?
Fiber glass is a synthetic building material. It is really made of glass, but is processed in such a way as to be strong, light weight, and durable.My tennis raquet is made of fiber glass. Speed boats made of fiber glass really go fast. Fiber glass makes good insulation.
What is the difference between foam glass and fiber glass?
Foam glass is made when air bubbles are put into the glass when it is melted . Fiber glass is glass that has been pulled into long strands.
