Arteries have thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flow. Veins contain thin, elastic muscle layer with semilunar valves that prevent the blood from flowing in the opposite direction. Arteries have a high resistance while Veins have high capacitance.

How do arteries and veins connecting with the lungs differ from arteries and veins connecting with other organs?
Arteries and veins connecting with the lungs differ from those associated with other organs primarily in their function and structure. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast, systemic arteries transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and systemic veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Additionally, the pulmonary circulation operates at lower pressure compared to the higher pressure found in the systemic circulation.
How does the structure of each mayor type of vessel differ from the other type?
The major blood vessels include the Arteries which have thicker walls compare to veins and blood flows in pulse, Veins which have thicker walls compared to capillaries and have vales , and lastly Capillaries which are smaller compared to veins and arteries and do not have valves.
The differences of the structure of an artery a veins a capillary?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart, and capillaries branch off of arteries and veins. Capillaries are essentially min-arteries and min-veins.
How is the structure of veins and arteries related to their fuction?
compare and contrast the structure of a vein and artery
How do you lymphatic vessels and veins differ in structure?
Lymphatics resemble veins in structure but have thinner walls and more valves.
Do arteries have the same structure but much thicker walls than veins?
yes
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
What is the comparison between the structure of the vein and the artery?
the veins are narrower and the arteries are thicker because the arteries should have to withstand a great force
What do arteries and veins drain?
Arteries drain (pump blood) into veins. Veins drain into your lungs and heart to be re-oxygenated. (This is not true for veins and arteries to and from your lungs.)
What is the difference between the blood in the arteries and the blood in the veins?
Veins do not pulsate Arteries pulsate Veins can easily collapse Arteries do not collapse (except in shock) Veins contain valves Blood pressure is low in the veins and higher in the arteries
What material surrounds veins and arteries?
Cellulose is what surronds veins and arteries.
How does the direction blood travels in arteries and veins differ?
the blood in the arteries in oxygenated and is flowing away from the heart throughout the body tyo give your cells oxygen. the blood in the veins has had its oxygen depleted by your cells and is travelling back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen
