ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Large arteries receive the highest pressure of blood flow and are thicker and more elastic to accommodate the high pressures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood pressure is highest within the large arteries (such as the aorta) because they are connected directly to the ventricle of the heart. As the blood vessel splits from the small arteries and into the arterioles, there is a drop in blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries: These strong, muscular blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body. They handle a large amount of force and pressure from your blood flow but don’t carry a large volume of blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulmonary artery and the aorta, on the other hand, carry blood out of the heart, and therefore carry blood at tremendous pressure owing to the systolic pressure of the ventricles. Q.

Detailed explanation-5: -Blood pressure in the arteries is much higher than in the veins, in part due to receiving blood from the heart after contraction, but also due to their contractile capacity. The tunica media of arteries is thickened compared to veins, with smoother muscle fibers and elastic tissue.
