What is the structure and function of elastic arteries?

Elastic arteries are also known as conducting arteries because they carry large volumes of blood away from the heart. They are large vessels with diameters up to 2.5 cm (1 in.) (Figure 21-2). The pulmonary trunk and aorta, as well as their major branches (the pulmonary, common carotid, subclavian, and common iliac arteries), are elastic arteries. The walls of elastic arteries are extremely resilient because the tunica media contains a high density of elastic fibers and relatively few smooth muscle cells.
