The functions that both the nerve cells and muscle cells
have in common are the following;
-
Both cells are excitable
-
They both experience voltage difference in the
cell membrane
-
The cell membrane of both of cells has electrochemical
impulses
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 :)
