The conducting arteries, which are the high pressure arteries (eg. aorta and pulmonary), are high in elastic fibres. These fibres store energy to help to push blood forward during diastole (heart relaxation).

They need to be strong and elastic to cope with the high pressure that the heart pumps out the blood at, in order for it to reach all areas of the body.

What are the different blood vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
Why are blood vessels elastic?
Blood vessels are elastic in order to maintain the circulatory system. The vessels need to be able to stretch based on the force of the blood that is pumped through them. There are also receptors on blood vessels that control the diameter in order to shift blood to other parts of the body.
Strong elastic blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
arteries.
Are arteries strong elastic vessels that carry blood to the heart?
yes
Thin-walled blood vessels less elastic than arteries?
aorta
Name the blood vessels of the body?
There are four main types of blood vessels in the human body. There are arteries which are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Then there are veins which are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Next, there are capillaries which are extremely small vessels found within the body tissues that transport blood from the arteries to the veins. And last, there are the sinusoids which are extremely small vessels found in the liver, the spleen, and in bone marrow.
Which blood vessels have elastic fibers?
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.
What are the three different types of vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
What does the term elastic mean pertaining to arteries?
The term Elastic Arteries usually refers to the ability of blood vessels to dilate and constrict freely.
What kind of tissue enables the blood vessels to stretch?
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.
Strong elastic blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart.
What type of tissue is blood vessels?
The tissue in blood vessels is called elastic tissue as it have to control the pressure in blood and have to contract and relax to create a specific pressure so that every organ should receive blood.
