Skeletal. Definitely. Skeletal Muscle moves bone whereas smooth muscle is found in organs and other parts of the body (stomach, veins, arteries, etc.)

the arteries. specifically, the aorta.


What type of muscle tissue is found within the digestive system?

Smooth muscle tissue is located in the wall of the digestive tract.


Which type of muscle constricts veins when blood pressure drops suddenly?

Smooth muscles constrict veins when blood pressure suddenly drops. These types of muscles are the non striated, involuntary muscles found in blood vessels, veins, arteries, the uterus, the bladder, and reproductive tracts.


Which material allows arteries and veins to change size?

The material that allows arteries and veins to change size is smooth muscle tissue. This type of muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and can contract or relax to regulate the diameter of the vessels, thereby controlling blood flow and pressure. Additionally, the elastic fibers in the vessel walls also contribute to their ability to stretch and recoil, further aiding in size adjustment.


What type of tissue is found in the walls of the arteries that leave the heart but not in the walls of the large veins that enter the heart?

elastic tissue


Are vessels the same as veins?

There are three different types of blood vessels: arteries (which carry blood away from the heart) veins (which carry blood toward the heart) and capillaries (which carry blood from arteries to veins). So veins are a type of vessel, but not the only type.


Name the 3 type of blood vessels in the body?

The 3 types of blood vessels are: 1. veins, which carry blood to the heart; 2. capillaries, which connect veins and arteries, and 3. arteries, which carry blood away from the heart.


What type of blood vessels have values?

Veins have valves, arteries don't.


What is the Smallest type of blood vessel connect arteries and veins?

Capillaries.


What is the name of the material that changes the size of arteries and veins?

The material that changes the size of arteries and veins is called smooth muscle tissue. This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of blood vessels and is responsible for regulating their diameter through contraction and relaxation. This process is crucial for controlling blood flow and blood pressure throughout the circulatory system. Additionally, the endothelium, a layer of cells lining the blood vessels, also plays a role in vascular tone by releasing signaling molecules.


What kind of muscle tissue would you find in the blood vessels?

Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
