Blood flows in arteries with spurts and high pressure.


Open in App
Solution

As the ventricles of the heart contract, they push blood into the small lumen of the arteries with a great pressure, thus making the blood in the arteries flow in spurts and under pressure.

The high pressure is exerted by the pumping action of the heart.

Blood flows in arteries with spurts which correspond to the ventricular contractions of the heart.
