      Page 15. Review: Three Groups of Arteries • Blood vessel function follows blood vessel structure. The more elastic tissue in an artery, the greater its ability to expand and recoil (pulsate). Elastic arteries, such as the aorta, have the most elastin so they are able to expand and recoil dramatically.

      Structure and Function of Arteries. Arteries and Pressure. Elasticity allows arteries to absorb pressure waves that come with each heartbeat. Contractility . Arteries change diameter. Controlled by sympathetic division of ANS. Vasoconstriction: the contraction of arterial smooth muscle by the ANS. Vasodilatation: the relaxation of arterial ...

      Relate these differences to the function of the vessels. The walls of veins have three layers of tissues like the arteries but veins are much thinner and less elastic than arteries.Veins have valves that help in the process of returning blood to the heart by preventing blood from flowing reverse. Anna’s autopsy report noted mitral valve prolapse.
