blood flows at a high pressure, so if the arteries are thin and less muscular, the arteries can explode due to the pressure. so it needs thick and muscular properties so that it can withstand the increasing pressure of the flow of blood.
im not sure why it needs to be elastic. Hope it helped :)
Answer:
The circulatory system or vascular system is an organ system that helps in the transport of the blood from and to the heart. The blood transport also takes oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other components from the heart to the various part of the brain with the help of the arteries and carry waste such as carbon dioxide to the heart in veins.
The oxygenated blood enters in the left atrium and moves to the left ventricle to the aorta and starts its journey to the body whereas deoxygenated blood enters in the right upper chamber or right atrium of the heart and pump to the right lower chamber and to the lungs to carry the oxygen again. This process is a continuous process.
