Why do arteries need strong walls?
Because it have a pressure it must pump the blood and carry it away from the heart
How does the blockage of a coronary artery lead to a heart attack?
arteries provide oxygenated blood to the tissues they supply. ergo, a coronary artery that is blocked cannot deliver oxygen to the tissue it is supplying, and all that tissue dies... literally dies as in tissue necrosis, cellular death and just becomes a hunk of meat that flaps along with the tissue around it that still does get oxygen and can move. If a large enough piece of tissue dies or if multiple arteries get blocked then heart stops beating and death occurs.
Why is an embolus dangerous?
They may cause death if they block a major artery, such as the large pulmonary artery that runs through the lungs. They also may cause tissue to die if they prevent blood flow to the area.
Name of large artery in neck?

What can result from a thrombus?
A thrombus is another name for a clot. When it blocks an artery, the tissue beyond the clot will die. If it is a large artery, the amount of damage can be very harmful, If this happens in a artery that is on the surface of the heart, the muscle will die. When that happens the muscle can tear and the heart can rupture.

Is pulmonary artery an elastic artery?
Yes! It is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood (other than umbilical arteries in the fetus), it is located close to the heart, where large (conducting) arteries don't have smooth muscles like medium-sized (distributing) arteries have.
What blood vessels have elastic quality?
The conducting arteries, which are the high pressure arteries (eg. aorta and pulmonary), are high in elastic fibres. These fibres store energy to help to push blood forward during diastole (heart relaxation).
Is elastic cartilage tissue found on the walls of large arteries that leave the heart?
The correct answer to this question in FALSE.
