Brooke Hicks · Answer 1

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Arteries are vessels that distribute blood from the heart to the tissues. The arteries branch out and, progressively, at each branch, their size decreases and the arterioles form. Most organs receive their blood supply from more than one arterial branch and these branches that supply the same territory frequently converge to form an arterial anastomosis, that is, an arterial anastomosis is the union of two arterial branches that supply the same region. These constitute alternate routes for blood to reach a tissue or organ.
