Answer:

The correct answer is - To withstand the high pressure of the outflow of blood from the Heart.

Explanation:

The heart pumps blood to different body parts at high pressure so that it can easily reach all the parts of the body quickly. To able to hold the pressure of the blood pumped at high-pressure arteries need thick walls.

This pressure can be experienced as pulse and which required the walls of arteries and the middle layer or the tunica media to make it much thicker in arteries than in veins. In veins pressure caused by blood is very low pressure that allows them to be thin walls.

While Rebecca at her locker she can hear students coming from around the corner. Which wave interaction explains why she can hea
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the key explanation why we can hear sounds around corners but not see them. As compared to light waves, sound waves have much longer wavelengths, making diffraction effects much more visible. When the size of the object that the wave is diffracting around is about the same as the wavelength of the wave, diffraction effects become very visible.

Sound has a wavelength of 1 m, while light has a wavelength of 0.1 micro m. Reflection is a secondary reason. Sound waves bounce off walls in a specular way, allowing them to bounce around corners, but light bounces off walls in a diffuse manner.

hope this helps :)
