Why do arteries need to be thick, muscular, and elastic?

Biology

Valentin [98]3 years ago

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 :)

Explain about the temperate forest biome. Explain how the organisms in cold forests biome adapt to their environment. Also expla
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

In winter, the forest is extremely cold. The roots of the evergreen plants are unable to access water. The needle-like structure of these trees minimizes water loss from transpiration. The needles are also dark in color. The color allows them to absorb maximum sunlight for photosynthesis. Even with little food, the animals in the biome can access food from these trees. Squirrels can eat the seeds from the pinecones. Crossbill birds have special beaks that allow them to access the seeds. Moose eat sappy twigs. They’ve also adapted to build fat reserves to help them survive the harsh winter. Some animals hibernate, and others migrate to warmer places to survive the winter. During summer, the long days allow abundant photosynthesis. So, there’s increased plant growth accompanied by increased insect activity. Trees with seasonal leaves develop new leaves. Birds that had migrated return during the summer, when food is readily available. The plants and animals work as a system to obtain an adequate food supply throughout the year.
