Answer: Elastin

Explanation:

The elastin fibers are fibers that are present in the matrix of connective tissues. These are produced by the arterial smooth muscle cells and the fibroblasts. These have bundles of ptoteins called as elastin. These fibers can stretch to 1.5 times in their length. These fibers act like a rubber band and are very flexible. These undergoes frequent streching such as in aorta and in some of the ligaments.

Thus elastin proteins will help the aorta to stretch while exercise so as to accomodate more amount of blood.

What is the path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space is
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space.

Explanation:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space. It is different from rotation which is a phenomenon where a body revolves around its own axis. For example, we can assume the motion of earth as revolution when it travels around the sun and completes one complete revolution in one year, on the other hand when it moves around its own axis the day and night transformation happens.  We can also take the example of moon which revolves around the earth and many other planets which revolve around the sun. So it is very easy to understand the concept of revolution.

Hope it helps!
