Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elastic arteries have the ability to stretch and recoil, which helps to maintain blood flow during diastole (when the heart is relaxed and not actively pumping blood). This stretching and recoiling helps to maintain blood pressure and keep blood flowing through the arteries even when the heart is not actively pumping. Muscular arteries also contribute to maintaining blood flow during diastole, but they primarily regulate blood flow by contracting and relaxing to control blood pressure and distribution. Continuous capillaries, sinusoids, and venules do not play a significant role in maintaining blood flow during diastole.
