Muscular artery

Arteries able to dilate to regulate peripheral blood flow

A muscular artery is a medium-sized artery that draws blood from an elastic artery and branches into "resistance vessels" including small arteries and arterioles. Their walls contain larger number of smooth muscles, allowing them to contract and expand depending on peripheral blood demand.
