In simple terms arteriosclerosis.  That's essentially when the walls of arteries start to become thick and harden, most commonly due to older age-- but it can also start to build up due to fats and cholesterol. Naturally, when something becomes hard and thick, it looses it's elasticity, so your answer would be arteriosclerosis.

Arteriosclerosis is described as a cardiac disorder that results in hardening of the arterial walls. This can affect elasticity, and in turn blood circulation and blood pressure. The illness is different from Atherosclerosis, as Atherosclerosis is a buildup of debris in the artery (Plaques forming from fat deposits, platelets, clotting, etc..) Many times though Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis work in tandem to worsen cardiovascular health, greatly increasing chances of Aneurysms, Emboli (Traveling clots), or Thrombi (stationary clots)

<span>The skeletal system serves important functions in the body. It provides the general shape and form of the human body. Without it, we will be amoeba-like and gelatinous in form. It also holds several tissues of the body together, serves as protection for organs, and is responsible for the movements that the body performs. It is an integral part of the human structure because they provide the necessary attachments that the muscle fibers need in order to perform different motions. </span>
