Arterial stiffness is a general term for the elasticity (or compliance) of the arteries. The hardening or stiffening of the arteries is called arteriosclerosis. The stiffness of arteries influences how hard the heart has to work to pump blood through the body.

Anacrotic limb in the arterial pulse graph represents the initial rising slope of arterial pressure waveform, indicating the rapid increase in pressure during systole. It reflects the contraction of the left ventricle and the ejection of blood into the arteries. The presence of an anacrotic limb can provide information about cardiac function and arterial stiffness.
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
The loss of elasticity of the arterial walls, often referred to as arterial stiffness, occurs when the blood vessels become less flexible and less able to expand and contract with each heartbeat. This condition can result from aging, high blood pressure, and factors like atherosclerosis, where plaque buildup narrows the arteries. Reduced elasticity can lead to increased blood pressure and a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, as the heart must work harder to pump blood through stiffer vessels. Maintaining arterial elasticity is crucial for healthy blood circulation and overall cardiovascular health.
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
