arteries
Blood flow is faster in arteries than in veins. Blood flow in veins is lower pressure.
Arteries are blood vessels taking the blood away from the heart. the heart is a very powerful muscle so blood is ejected out at a high velocity and with high pressure.
Blood viscosity is the most important efect on blood velocity. Viscosity meaning how thin or thick the blood is. Velocity meaning the flow of blood. If the blood is too thick it's velocity will be slow. If the blood is thin, the blood will flow faster.
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
your blood pressure begins to rise
Blood velocity is slowest in the capillaries. This is because the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries is much larger than that of the arteries and veins, leading to a decrease in the speed of blood flow. This slower velocity allows for more effective exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between blood and tissues.
Veins are where the blood flow is the slowest. Blood flow velocity decreases from the aorta to the arteries to capillaries.
Arteries.
Arteries are thicker walled to hold the blood pressure of the heart pushing blood into them away from the heart. The thickness is from oxygen rich blood within them. Veins have no oxygen in the blood so that they must be fed oxygen with what ever red blood surrounds them. The blood pushed away from the heart thru an artery will flow faster than the blood drawn back to the heart, returning to the heart in a vein. (Simple fact blowing has more power than sucking.) This is why a banding around a limb usually fills with blood because the heart pressure pushes the blood through /past the banding but the draw from the heart isnt powerful enough to bring the blood back with the tight cord around your limb. Blood flows faster in the arteries because not only is their more muscle tissue than in a vein but arteries are thicker.
Arteries, becuase they are directly pumped by the heart while veins are pumped some by your heart and some by muscle movement. Arteries have thicker walls as well to cope with the greater pressure.
The velocity of blood flow varies depending on where it is in the circulatory system. It is fastest in arteries due to the pressure generated by the heart, and slower in capillaries where exchange of nutrients and waste occurs. The velocity then increases again in veins as blood returns to the heart.
