What does an artery have that a vein does not?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood; veins carry de-oxygenated blood. Arteries have much thicker muscular wall (of muscle and elastic fibres). Arteries have narrow passageway for blood; veins have a wider passageway. Arteries have higher blood pressures. Extra info. if you need it Veins have flaps of valves while arteries do not.
Why do the wall of arteries need to be thicker than the wall of veins?
Blood in the arteries is under extremely high pressure as its taking oxygenated blood from our heart.Veins take low pressure unoxygenated blood back to our heart.
What is difference between arteies vein?

What statement is true of arteries?
Arteries carry blood with oxygen to the heart. Veins carry blood full of carbon dioxide to the lungs. Arteries have a thick wall. Veins have a thin wall. Arteries have no valves. Veins have valves.
Are the walls in arteries thicker than the walls in veins?
The arterial walls are thicker because they need to withstand the pressure coming from the heart.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
