Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is not correctly matched. Now, let's go over each of our answer choices, canceling out the incorrect ones as we go. Let's begin by answer choice eight, you have elastic arteries which are large, thick wall and transport for blood to muscular arteries. Well, this is going to be a true statement because large thick wall and the ability to transport blood to muscular arteries are things that describe elastic arteries. Therefore, we're going to be moving on. Now we have the muscular arteries, medium size transport blood to body regions or organs. Again, this is going to be a true statement. This description fits muscular arteries. So we're going to be moving on. Now, we have sea arterials, tiny fest rated and transfer blood to the capillary beds. Now, this is where the mismatch is going to be happening and why? Well as it turns out, these arterials are going to be tiny and they're going to be transporting blood to capillary beds. So these two statements are going to be true. However, they're not going to be nitrated. These fest administrations are going to be present in some capillaries, which are going to be these tiny openings or pore to make them more permeable allowing for the exchange of larger molecules. However, they're not going to be a part of these arterials. And therefore, we can highlight answer choice C arterials, tiny fist treated, transport blood to the capillary beds as the final answer to our question because these arterials are not rated. Then as answer choice D we have both A and B which is also an incorrect statement. Now, this is the end of the video. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
