The structures of arteries, capillaries, and veins are all different, because of their different functions. The only way that they are similar is because they are hollow, and have some elasticity.

Are Capillaries and arteries are similar in size?
Capillaries are alot smaller than arteries.
Are capillaries and arteries similar in size?
No. Arteries are the largest blood vessels and capillaries are the smallest.
What is false a Arteries carry blood away from the heart b Veins carry blood back to the heart c Capillaries and arteries are similar in size d Blood travels from?
The answer is: c. Capillaries and arteries are similar in size.
Does a hog have arteries?
A hog's circulatory system is very similar to a human's. They have arteries, capillaries and veins. They also have a lymphatic system.
How is the circulatory system similar to a road and highway?
Large arteries and veins are like high-capacity highways, and they branch into smaller capillaries which go all through the body, so capillaries are like roads.
How is the circulatory system similar to a highway road?
Large arteries and veins are like high-capacity highways, and they branch into smaller capillaries which go all through the body, so capillaries are like roads.
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.
How is the road map similar to the circulatory system?
Large arteries and veins are like high-capacity highways, and they branch into smaller capillaries which go all through the body, so capillaries are like roads.
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!
