Prometheus had assigned Epimetheus the task of giving the creatures of the earth their various qualities, such as swiftness, cunning, strength, fur, and wings.
The organs in your body need oxygen to survive. Oxygen is carried through the body by the blood. When the heart beats, it creates pressure that pushes blood through a network of tube-shaped arteries and veins, also known as blood vessels and capillaries.The pressure --- blood pressure --- is the result of two forces.ealthy arteries are made of muscle and a semi-flexible tissue that stretches like elastic when the heart pumps blood through them. The more forcefully that blood pumps, the more the arteries stretch to allow blood to easily flow.
The tunica media is the middle layer of the wall of a blood vessel. It is made up of smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastic tissue that help regulate blood flow in the body â¦ by causing the blood vessel to narrow or widen.onfidence votes 2.

A flat layer of cells, called endothelial cells, forms a boundary between the blood in the lumen, or cavity, and the innermost layer of the arterial wall.
