there is not a certain kind of vessel; all the vessels stretch.
arteries is the answer
arteries is the answer
Baroreceptors
Blood vessels are surrounded by very small circular muscles which contract and relax to allow blood vessels to constrict and dilate. The vessels also contain elastin which allows them to stretch.
Arteries are high-pressure vessels. However, this pressure is not constant. As the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the pressure dramatically increases. They must stretch to accommodate this change, or risk rupturing.
All blood vessels can stretch to an extent. However, arteries are most flexible because they have more muscular fibers in their walls.
Proprioreceptors are found in numerous places such as blood vessels and intestines. they respond to stretch and pressure stimuli.
Abnormally low Blood Pressure is called "Hypotension"(Hypo-= Below, beneath, under, less than normal, deficient, in the lowest state of; Tension= to strain or stretch.)Blood pressure is the force(strain) on the blood vessels' walls. Thus, Hypotension is the less than normal strain on the walls of the blood vessels.
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Arteries are high-pressure vessels. However, this pressure is not constant. As the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the pressure dramatically increases. They must stretch to accommodate this change, or risk rupturing.
Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
It doesn't. The opposite is true. Blood pressure is proportional to blood volume. The greater the blood volume is, the higher the blood pressure will be. This is because there will be a greater volume of blood flowing through the blood vessels which means that a greater pressure will be exerted on the walls of the blood vessels, which means increased blood pressure.
