Question

arteries have thick and elastic walls . give reason ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because arteries are the first vessels that the heart pumps blood through, they experience the highest blood pressure, so they have thick elastic walls to withstand the high pressures. Small arteries, such as arterioles, are less elastic and have more smooth muscle than the larger arteries.

Answer 2

Answer:

Arteries have thick and elastic walls because the blood flows at a greater pressure.

So, this avoids the bursting.
