Answer:
There are three types of arteries. Each type is composed of three coats: outer, middle, and inner.
1. Elastic arteries are also called conducting arteries or conduit arteries. They have a thick middle layer so they can stretch in response to each pulse of the heart.
2. Muscular (distributing) arteries are medium-sized. They draw blood from elastic arteries and branch into resistance vessels. These vessels include small arteries and arterioles.
3. Arterioles are the smallest division of arteries that transport blood away from the heart. They direct blood into the capillary networks.
