Which type of blood vessel is both strong and elastic? (multiple choice question)?

Question

a. capillary

b. artery

c. vein

d. venue

Answer 1

B) Artery.

Answer 2

B Artery.

Arteries have thick elastic muscular walls to withstand the high pressure of blood being pumped by the ventricles of the heart. They expand during the pumping phase (systole) and recoil during the relaxation phase (diastole)

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

b. artery

Definitely the artery as it is the blood vessel which is the thickest, having a small lumen. it is also elastic or else it wouldn't have been able to pump the blood to the other parts of the body from the heart.
