Why is it an advantage for arteries to have elasticity?

When the artery walls lose their elasticity, this is called arteriosclerosis. When this happens, the body has a tougher time circulating blood.

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

they aren't -- The arteries are more elastic to withstand the greater pressure. Without elasticity they would likely burst.

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.

Arteries (: RHS GA student

Yes, because of their great elasticity arteries can function as blood volume reservoirs during times of low metabolic output.

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.

Elasticity of the large arteries.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Why do veins seem to have less elasticity than arteries? They are not really, it only seems that way because veins are smaller in diameter and received less of the enzyme that promote elasticity given by an enzyme during growth development which come from skeletal cartilage. A bony cartilage, or cartilage in generals are made up of many cells, that has combines together forming this structure.

Elasticity and lighter weight. Easier to mold and cast.

The elasticity of demand refers to how sensitive the demand for a good is to changes in other economic variables. The different types are: price elasticity, income elasticity, cross elasticity and advertisement elasticity.

It is an approximate measure of elasticity. It is an approximate measure of elasticity. It is an approximate measure of elasticity. It is an approximate measure of elasticity.

arteriosclerosis is a condition wherein there is hardening and loss of elasticity of the arteries. it can affect blood pressure by increasing the workload of the heart. since the arteries are no longer elastic, it would require greater pumping action to allow the blood to pass through the artery.

During cardiac systole the left ventricle contracts, the semi lunar valves open and occlude the coronary arteries. During diastole the valves close and because of the elasticity of the aorta which has just been stretched blood now flows into the coronary arteries. The reason for this is that it is easier to supply blood to the cardiac muscle when it is relaxed.

No, there is no elasticity in cotton at all

Yes elasticity affects it. It is increasing with the elasticity.

Arc elasticity is used to measure the elasticity at the midpoint of two different points. Point elasticity on the other hand, is used to measure the elasticity of demand at a particular point of the demand curve. Point elasticity can also measure the elasticity between two points of a demand curve.
