What is the thickest artery in the body?

What connective tissue occurs in some ligament attachments between vertebrae and larger artery walls?
Elastic Connective
What is a structure through which air passes when inhaling A The aorta B The diaphysis C The pulmonary artery D The pharynx?
The aorta is a major artery off the heart, the diaphysis is part of a long bone, the pulmonary artery is an artery that carries blood away from the heart and the parynx is another name for the "voice box". It is also called the "Adam's Apple" as it is larger in males. SO this is part of the respiratory tract that carries air in and out of the lungs.

From capillaries the blood flows into what?
Generally blood from the capillaries flows into venules which lead into larger veins and is then pumped to the heart. However there are a few exceptions where capillaries lead from one artery to another artery, but this only happens in the glomerular capsule of the kidney and the hypothalamus.
