Artery walls need to be thick because they have to cope with high pressures produced by the cardiac cycle, the arterys are made thick by cardiac muscle.
Thee difference between muscle in veins and arteries is that muscles of arteries are thicker compared to those of veins.
The arterial walls are thicker because they need to withstand the pressure coming from the heart.
In general, the walls of arteries are thicker than those of veins. The tunic media in particular tends to be much heavier and contains substantially more smooth muscle and elastic tissue. This anatomical difference reflects a functional diffeerence in the 2 types of vessels. Arteries, which are closer to the pumping action of the heart, must be able to expand as an increased volume of blood flows off into the circulation during diastole. Their walls much be sufficiently stong and resilient to withstand such pressure fluctuations. The tunica media is thicker in the arteries mainly for maintaing blood pressure and continuous blood circulation.
It all depends on which one you are comparing, because they come in large ones like the Aorta, down to tiny ones called arterioles. In any case, they are thicker than their corresponding vein.
The ventricle walls are thicker. The blood is being ejected outside of the ventricla
The walls of arteries are thicker than those of veins so as to keep the pressure of the blood constant while the arteries are constricting or relaxing
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ from those of the systemic circulation in that they carry?
Arteries and veins have much thicker walls compared to capillaries. The largest arteries and veins have walls up to 5 mm thick, while capillaries have walls that are only one cell layer thick.
The peripheral arteries most often treated with endarterectomy are those that supply the legs, especially the aortoiliac arteries in the pelvic area.
All arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen except those arteries that carry blood to the lungs called the pulmonary arteries.
Those would be they Arteries and arterioles.
Those letters spell arteries.
