The elasticity enables the arteries to change their diameter. Smaller means more pressure, larger means lower pressure.

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.
arterial blood
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
It can mean Arterial Blood Gas.
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
pulmonary arterie
Blood flow in arteries is primarily driven by the pressure generated by the heart's contractions during systole, which propels blood into the arterial system. The elastic walls of arteries expand to accommodate this surge of blood and then recoil during diastole, helping to maintain continuous blood flow. Additionally, the diameter of arteries can change due to vasodilation and vasoconstriction, influencing resistance and blood flow. Overall, arterial blood flow is a dynamic interplay of cardiac output, arterial elasticity, and vascular resistance.
It deacreases the amount of blood that can be delivered because of the narrowed arterial passageways
