So blood can go to the rest of your body. They have a specialised structure that makes them particularly suited for the task. In comparison to veins, the walls of arteries are substantially thicker and in most cases have a larger proportion of muscle. In the largest arteries (Aorta etc), the vast majority of the arterial wall consists of elastic fibres, allowing it to expand and recoil as the heart pumps blood into it.
