The special properties of blood vessels that allow one to feel a pulse include their elasticity and the rhythmic contraction of the heart. Arteries, particularly, have thick, elastic walls that expand and contract with each heartbeat, creating a pressure wave that travels through the vessel. This pressure wave can be felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist or neck, where arteries are close to the skin's surface. The ability to palpate this wave is what enables the sensation of a pulse.

What blood vessels allow internal respiration?
Capillary
Which blood vessels allow blood to flow between the arteries and veins?
Capillaries.
Why does your body have three kinds of blood vessels?
it has three kinds of blood vessels because they each have a special job and it helps your body.
Blood vessels are what type of muscles?
The walls of blood vessels have smooth muscle, which allow contraction and dilation (for example, in response to temperature changes.
What do blood vessels do when the weather is hot?
In hot weather - blood vessels dilate (widen) - to allow the exchange of heat between the blood and sweat glands. The sweat evaporates - cooling the blood.
Which blood vessels allow substances to travel between the blood and other cells in the body?
capillaries
What vessels are known as exchange vessels?
Capillaries are known as exchange vessels. Capillaries are the smallest of vessels and allow nutrients and waste to pass through blood and body.
What blood vessels allow the exchange of substances between the blood and the cells of the body?
Capillaries via osmosis
What kind of tissue enables the blood vessels to stretch?
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.
What do caplillaries do?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, and they allow for gas exchange in the tissues.
Which vessels allow materials to pass between the body and blood cells?
capillaries
