Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With aging, the arteries walls tend to harden and thicken due to the deposition of plaque and changes in the composition of the arterial wall. This can lead to the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Blood pressure may not necessarily decrease with aging, and the tunica media does not typically become stronger. The endothelium may also become disrupted and roughened, not smoother.
