Abstract
Arteries are strong and flexible structures that supply oxygenated blood to the organs. Their strength and flexibility rely on three distinctive layers, called the adventitia, media and intima. These layers of the arterial wall are rich in elastin, collagen and smooth muscle cells, which give the arteries complex elastic properties, allowing them to sustain and facilitate rapid and large variations in blood pressure.
