How does the pulsating blood pressure in the largest arteries relate to their structure?

It reveals their elasticity. When the heart contracts and forces blood into the large arteries near the heart, they stretch to accommodate the greater blood volume (systolic pressure). Then, as the blood continues on in the circuit, their walls recoil, keeping pressure on the blood which keeps it moving (diastolic pressure).

How are arteries related to blood pressure?
Because arteries have to do with giving blood to body parts and blood pressure has to do with the amount of blood you have and the arteries have a huge part in that!!! Thank you arteries are the carriers of oygenated blood to the body . blood pressue is very high. the walls are made of elstic material which can either contract or dilate due to pressure changes. blood pressure levels can be influenced by exercise ie when muscles are in motion and temperature changes
What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.
Is the diameter of the lumen larger in arteries or in capillaries?
Arteries have the largest diameter, then arterioles, and last, capillaries.
Does blood flow more rapidly in the capillaries or in arteries?
Remember arteries come from the heart, and veins go from the organs back to the heart. Therefore, as the heart is the main pump, the arteries have the greatest pressure, so "the blood flow is more rapid in arteries."
Which is the largest artery?
The aorta, located in the heart, is the largest artery in the human body. It does branch out so I suppose it could answer your question when you say 'arteries'.
Is coronary artery the largest artery?
No. The coronary arteries are not the largest arteries. The aorta is the largest artery.

Are capillaries and arteries similar in size?
No. Arteries are the largest blood vessels and capillaries are the smallest.
arteries are?
arteries are blood vessels that are part of the system carrying blood under pressure from the heart to the rest of the body-OR-Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood out to the body/lungs. They are the largest form of vessel. In other words Arteries are blood vessels that carry rich blood away from the heart throughout the body. Arteries send rich blood away throughout the cells.
How thick are largest arteries?
5 inches
Is the diameter of the lumen larger in arteries or in capillaries?
Arteries have the largest diameter, then arterioles, and last, capillaries.
What is the largest type of blood vessels?
Arteries, of which the aorta is the largest vessel in the human body.
Are capillaries The largest blood vessel?
No. There are three types of blood vessels. They are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the largest of the blood vessels. Then comes the veins and the smallest are the capillaries.
Does blood flow more rapidly in the capillaries or in arteries?
Remember arteries come from the heart, and veins go from the organs back to the heart. Therefore, as the heart is the main pump, the arteries have the greatest pressure, so "the blood flow is more rapid in arteries."
What is the largest pathway in the circulatory system?
Arteries, specifically the aorta.
What is the largest structure in the animal structure?
The nucleus
