Do muscular arteries maintain blood flow during ventricular diastole?

The structure of the various blood vessels is closely related to their function. The vessels which receive blood from the heart, the elastic arteries, have thick, strong walls to cope with the sudden high pressure produced during diastole; they contain abundant elastic material to allow stretch so that the vessel lumen may accommodate the change of volume. They also have a thick, outer coat of collagenous connective tissue whose tensile strength prevents over-distension of the elastic tissue. The elastic recoil of these elastic arteries is responsible for maintaining a continuous, though decreased, flow of blood to smaller vessels during systole.

What is the difference between elastic arteries muscular arteries and arterioles relative to location histology and functional adaptation?
Elastic (conducting) arteries are the large arteries close to the heart that expand during systole, acting as pressure reservoirs, and then recoil during diastole to keep blood moving. Muscular (distributing) arteries carry blood to specific organs; they are less stretchy and more active in vasoconstriction. Arterioles regulate blood flow into capillary beds.
The arteries that are also called distributing arteries are called?
muscular arteries
Which depends on the respiratory and muscular pumps arteries or veins and Why?
arteries
Does the veins or arteries depend on the respiratory and muscular pumps?
Arteries are under pressure from the heart.
What muscular structure is between the right ventricle and the liver?
Nter ventricular septum
Recoil of muscular arteries maintains blood flow during ventricular diastole?
yes

Do muscular arteries branch into arterioles?
Yes blood passes through Elastic Arteries, Muscular Arteries, and then Arterioles.
The arteries that are also called distributing arteries are called?
muscular arteries
The arterioles muscular arteries and elastic arteries are in what position from heart to capillaries?
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
What is ventricular contractions?
It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
