Do you think that the stiffness/rigidity of blood vessel is something to do wih circulation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The walls of the arteries are still/rigid. They are made up of muscle fibre and are elastic.
When heart pumps blood into the arteries, the blood enters with a pressure into the arteries. Their walls will stretch and this enables the arteries to withstand the increase in the pressure without bursting.
