Blood is ejected from the heart in a pulsating manner, and the aorta and pulmonary arteries expand to accommodate. The elastic recoil smoothes out the blood flow.

How wil blood flow out in case an artery is cut?

If an artery is cut, blood will flow out rapidly in a pulsating manner. These high pressure vessels can result in large blood loss iff cut.

How does the wall of the aorta help to smooth out blood pressure in the aorta?

The wall of the aorta is highly elastic and so distends when the left ventricle contracts pumping blood into it. As the walls close back in they push the blood along in a more smooth fashion. This stops sudden pressure increases from bursting all the vessels.


Why is the blood in arteries pulsating?

Arteries carry blood that is being pumped by the heart round the body. Therefore the pulsating is the result of the heart's contractions which push the blood round the body. The time in between the pulse beats is when the heart is refilling with blood. The pulse can be felt because the blood is under great pressure from the force of the heart contraction pushing the blood against the walls of the artery and stretching them a little.

When you injure ourselves where does the blood come from veins or arteries?

Mostly veins or tiny artery's. If you cut an artery you will have a pulsating bleeding

Give an example of smooth muscle?

An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.


Why does the endocardium have to be smooth?

The endocardium needs to be smooth to facilitate the smooth flow of blood through the heart chambers. A smooth surface reduces the risk of blood clots forming and minimizes friction, allowing for efficient circulation. Additionally, a smooth endocardium helps to prevent damage to the heart valves and muscle.


What is the role of smooth muscle in blood vessels walls?

The smooth muscle, which is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, controls the diameter of the blood vessel, and it plays an important role in blood pressure.


Do smooth muscles prevent the backward flow of blood toward your heart?

No. Valves in the arteries are responsible for preventing back-flow of blood, not smooth muscles.


How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?

Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
