Blood and Blood Vessels - Arteries (GCSE Biology)

Blood Vessels: Arteries

There are 3 main types of vessels: arteries, veins and capillaries.

Table of Contents

Arteries

Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.

Structure

It is important to know a brief structure of arteries

The arteries have the thickest walls – this is so they can withstand the high pressure of blood.
Their walls are elastic – this is so that they can recoil to re-pump the blood along the way (like a spring), helping to maintain a high blood pressure.
There is no need for valves– this is because blood is flowing so fast that there will not be any backflow.
