elastic arteries造句

• As the carotid artery is an elastic artery, the muscular media is relatively small.
• The Windkessel effect becomes diminished with age as the elastic arteries become less compliant, termed " hardening of the arteries " or arteriosclerosis, probably secondary to fragmentation and loss of elastin.
• As people age, " The Mayo Clinic Heart Book " explains, the smooth, elastic artery walls normally become thicker, and their calcium content increases, in effect hardening all arteries to some degree.
