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 havemore smooth muscle than the largerarteries.

Hey friend here is your answer......................

Ques-Arteries have thick elastic wall . Give reason.
Ans-The thicker and more muscular walls of arteries help them to withstand and absorb the pressure waves which begin in the heart and are transmitted by the blood.They do not have the need for the strength and elasticity of the arteries, so the walls of the veins are thin and almost floppy.
