Which blood vessels have elastic fibers?
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.
Thin-walled blood vessels less elastic than arteries?
aorta
Do muscular arteries maintain blood flow during ventricular diastole?
The structure of the various blood vessels is closely related to their function. The vessels which receive blood from the heart, the elastic arteries, have thick, strong walls to cope with the sudden high pressure produced during diastole; they contain abundant elastic material to allow stretch so that the vessel lumen may accommodate the change of volume. They also have a thick, outer coat of collagenous connective tissue whose tensile strength prevents over-distension of the elastic tissue. The elastic recoil of these elastic arteries is responsible for maintaining a continuous, though decreased, flow of blood to smaller vessels during systole.http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/histomanual/cardiovascular.html
What are the vessels that take blood away from the heart?
The arteries
What are any tubes that carry blood called?
Blood vessels are the tubes that carry blood. The three types of blood vessels are arteries, capillaries, and veins.
Strong elastic blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
arteries.
What are the different blood vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
Strong elastic blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart.
Which blood vessels have elastic fibers?
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.
What blood vessels have elastic quality?
The conducting arteries, which are the high pressure arteries (eg. aorta and pulmonary), are high in elastic fibres. These fibres store energy to help to push blood forward during diastole (heart relaxation).
What are the three different types of vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
What does the term elastic mean pertaining to arteries?
The term Elastic Arteries usually refers to the ability of blood vessels to dilate and constrict freely.
Thin-walled blood vessels less elastic than arteries?
aorta
Name the blood vessels of the body?
The main types of blood vessels in the body are arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, veins return oxygen-poor blood to the heart, and capillaries are tiny vessels connecting arteries and veins where gas exchange and nutrient exchange occur.

Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
Are the veins the strongest and thickest of the blood vessels?
The veins are neither strong nor thick of the blood vessels. On the contrary the veins are thin and thin walled. The arteries are strong and thick. They have to bear the pressure of the blood that comes from the heart.
