Elasticity allows hormones to travel up AND down the bloodstream easier. (i.e. when the pituitary glands sends GH to the heart and lungs.) without elasticity, we would quickly develop bronchitus after consuming foods or drinks.

What happens when the walls of the arteries lose their elasticity?
When the artery walls lose their elasticity, this is called arteriosclerosis. When this happens, the body has a tougher time circulating blood.
What blood vessels uses elasticity to push blood further along the bloodstream?
Arteries
What is the effect of the elasticity of the arterie on arterial blood?
The elasticity enables the arteries to change their diameter. Smaller means more pressure, larger means lower pressure.
Why are veins more elastic than arteries?
they aren't -- The arteries are more elastic to withstand the greater pressure. Without elasticity they would likely burst.
What is the amount of muscle in veins and arteries?
The amount of muscle in veins and arteries varies in the sense that arteries are more muscular than veins to give them extra elasticity and strength to deal with surges of blood.
Which vessels depends on its elasticity ot propel blood along?
Arteries (: RHS GA student
Which condition causes plaque to accumulate on the walls of the arteries making them thicken and lose elasticity?
atherosclerosis
Do the arteries serve as blood reservoirs?
Yes, because of their great elasticity arteries can function as blood volume reservoirs during times of low metabolic output.
What is arterial stiffness?
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.
Why is Blood flow in the capillaries is steady despite the rhythmic pumping of the heart because of the?
Elasticity of the large arteries.
How are the structures of arteries capillaries and veins similar how are they different?
The structures of arteries, capillaries, and veins are all different, because of their different functions. The only way that they are similar is because they are hollow, and have some elasticity.
Blood flow through the capillaries is steady despite the rhythmic pumping action of the heart because of?
elasticity of the large arteries
What is the main advantage of a flitch beam?
the main advantage of flitch beam is to strengthen the beam and decrease the deflection (∆) in the beam by decreasing elasticity (E) because the elasticity of steel is much bigger than a wood beam. their ratio is about 15 to 20 (n=15 to 20).
When arteries become thick and lose elasticity this is called what?
Over the course of time, the arterial walls are apt to lose elasticity, which limits the amount of blood that can surge through them and hence limits the supply of oxygen to the heart. This condition is known as arteriosclerosis.
In economics what are the types of elasticity?
price elasticity income elasticity cross elasticity promotional elasticity
Are arteries thicker and stronger than veins and have two major properties?
Yes, Arteries are stronger and thicker than veins because they get more pressure from the heart. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins take blood toward the heart. The two major properties of artieries are their elasticity and contactility.
What is the difference between ima and ama?
Ima is Ideal Mechanical Advantage and Ama is Actual Mechanical Advantage. The difference is that IMA doesn't take into account elasticity or friction and AMA does.
