PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Elastic arteries (conducting arteries) are the largest arteries and include the aorta and other nearby branches. The tunica media of elastic arteries contains a large amount of elastic connective tissue, which enables the artery to expand as blood enters the lumen from the contracting heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -An elastic artery is also known as a conducting artery, because the large diameter of the lumen enables it to accept a large volume of blood from the heart and conduct it to smaller branches.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which arteries are elastic arteries? Elastic artery examples include your pulmonary arteries, aorta and the aorta’s branches. These arteries branch from your aorta: Brachiocephalic artery.
