No. Its the other way round.
Walls of lymphatics (lymph vessels) are thinner than that of veins.
Wall of lymph vessels consists only of a single layer of flat endothelial cells(with a few extensions into the lumen, as valves),
while that of veins consists of innermost layer- of endothelial cells (tunica intima), middle layer-of smooth muscle cells (tunica media) and an outer layer- of connective tissue(tunica externa)

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.
Are the walls of veins generally much thinner than those of the arteries?
Yes
Are the walls of veins are generally thinner than those of the arteries?
Yes, that is correct.
Compared to arteries veins?
Have thinner walls.
What has thinner walls arteries or veins?
Arteries have thicker wall because the pressure in the arteries is much higher.
What blood vessels have thick walls?
Arteries have thick elastic walls that can expand and contract, because they carry blood pumped from the heart. Veins return the blood to the heart but the pressure is not the same as in the arteries.
Do veins have thin walls?
Relative to the walls of arteries, the veins' walls are thinner, because the pressure of the blood in the veins is much lower; so low in fact, that valves are required to prevent blood in the veins flowing backwards.
How are the structures and functions of arteries capillaries and veins similar?
Arteries have thicker walls than veins because they are carrying blood away from the heart and so, in a sense, are working harder. Veins have thinner walls and contain valves to stop blood flowing backwards.
What is the characteristic of the veins?
Veins have thinner walls compared to arteries. They also have larger lumens than arteries which is the space inside the vessel. Lastly they have one-way valves to help keep the blood flowing in one direction.
How thick are the walls of capillaries compared to those of arteries and veins?
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.
How do arteries deffer from veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, have thicker walls (more muscle and elastic tissue) and smaller lumens. Veins carry blood towards the heart, have thinner walls, and larger lumens. They also have one-way valves to prevent backflow of blood to the lower extremeties.
Why are the larger arteries white?
Because the the outer walls of the bigger arteries are thicker. the thinner the wall the more transparent it is. Because the the outer walls of the bigger arteries are thicker. the thinner the wall the more transparent it is.
