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).

arteries.
Blood vessels are elastic in order to maintain the circulatory system. The vessels need to be able to stretch based on the force of the blood that is pumped through them. There are also receptors on blood vessels that control the diameter in order to shift blood to other parts of the body.

aorta
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.

The term Elastic Arteries usually refers to the ability of blood vessels to dilate and constrict freely.
The body's most muscular and elastic blood vessels are the arteries. They have thick, muscular walls that allow them to withstand and regulate the high pressure of blood pumped from the heart. This muscularity also enables arteries to constrict and dilate, helping to control blood flow. Additionally, the elastic fibers in their walls help accommodate the surge of blood with each heartbeat.
Blood vessels are surrounded by very small circular muscles which contract and relax to allow blood vessels to constrict and dilate. The vessels also contain elastin which allows them to stretch.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart.
The tissue in blood vessels is called elastic tissue as it have to control the pressure in blood and have to contract and relax to create a specific pressure so that every organ should receive blood.
