The function is it carries blood away from the heart, and the structure of the wall is is usually very thick, there is 3 layers of the wall. The first is Epithelial cells, the second is muscle tissue, and the last is a flexible connective tissue.
Yes blood passes through Elastic Arteries, Muscular Arteries, and then Arterioles.
arterioles
Arterioles.
There are arteries, arterioles, and capillaries
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
Arterioles are very small arteries which lead from arteries in to a capillary bed where gases, wastes and nutrients are exchanged.
Arteries go to arterioles, then the capillaries Arteries
arterioles
There isnt exactly specific arterioles because every conduction system of Arteries flow from Elastic arteries -> muscular arteries -> arterioles. Arterioles are the smallest of the arteries and produce the greatest vascular resistance of blood. The blood then passes onto capillaries for gas/waste/nutrient exchange.
As arteries become smaller to pass through narrower places, they are known as arterioles. Arterioles then branch out into capillaries.
Arterioles carry bloo, under lower pressure than arteries, from arteries to capillaries. They also control the flow of blood between the two. In mammals main arteries are located primarily in and around the heart, whereas arterioles connect these to the capillaries
Blood is carried away from the aorta to the arterioles through a network of progressively smaller arteries. The aorta branches into several major arteries, which further divide into smaller arteries and then into arterioles. These arterioles regulate blood flow into the capillary beds, where nutrient and gas exchange occurs.
