Which type of blood vessels contain thick muscular tissue within their walls to pump blood throughout the body?

Artery

Explanation:

The artery is a hollow tube that possesses a wall that is made up of thick muscles that enables it to withstand high pressure of the blood that is being pumped out from the heart. Arteries conduct blood away from the heart.

The arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, and supplies to other parts of the body. The pulmonary and the umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood to organs like the lungs, which oxygenates the blood, while the other arteries carry oxygenated blood from the hearts and nutrients to other parts of the body for cellular functions.
