Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries. An artery is a blood vessel that conducts blood away from the heart. All arteries have relatively thick walls that can withstand the high pressure of blood ejected from the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thick walls of arteries help them to resist the pressure of the flow of blood in them. Elastic walls of arteries: The elastic layer allows stretching and absorbs pressure. The walls stretch and recoil in response to pumping, thus peaks in pressure are absorbed.
