Caryl A.
Blood vessels are more than just a series of tubes; different types of blood vessels have different structures that help in their function. For example, arteries have thick, elastic walls that help keep blood flowing through the body even when it is out of the range of the pumping force of the heart. In another example, arterioles are able to widen during the blood flow through the body, depending on the body's activity.
