Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The arteries are the thickest of all blood vessels and have muscular walls that contract to keep the blood moving away from the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Large arteries receive the highest pressure of blood flow and are thicker and more elastic to accommodate the high pressures. Smaller arteries, such as arterioles, have more smooth muscle, which contracts or relaxes to regulate blood flow to specific portions of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood pressure is highest within the large arteries (such as the aorta) because they are connected directly to the ventricle of the heart.
Detailed explanation-4: -Arteries have thicker wall as compared to arteriole and veins.
