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.
