They're both blood vessels. But unlike a artery which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, the veins carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart where it can exchange gases in the lungs later. Also, veins have valves (to prevent blood flowing backwards) where as arteries generally do not.
They don't. They just stay where they are, although they are flexible and can be pushed to a slightly different position.
because you have main arteries that blood flows through to help pump the heart. Veins carry the blood through
Pathway of glucose and other molecules from renal artery to renal vein is the following . 1 renal artery , 2 arcuate artery ,3 interlobular artery , 4 afferenr renal arteriole , 5 glomerulus , 6 efferent renal arteriole , 7 peritubular network of capillaries including vasa recta , 8 interlobular vein , 9 arcuate vein and 10 renal vein .
Blood flow from a vein is slower than that from an artery.
No
There are usually two veins and one artery in the cord. The veins carry oxygenated blood and the artery is low in oxygen. If the only artery is missing, the pregnancy will end very early. If one vein is missing, most infants are delivered and are fine.

they are the same by they both transfer blood in the body
I hope that this vein leads to the mother lode! A vein is different from an artery.
Artery.
it is a VEIN <3
there is no such animal as an artery vein.... you have artery and you have veins... no vessel is both, unless used in a CABG.
the smallest blood vessel is the capillary, then the vein, and the artery. (vein and artery depends though because when they diffuse they get smaller and close to the same size) but the smallest will always be the capillary.
It's a vein. The artery going to your head is the carotid artery.

Whilst the vein carries deoxygenated blood towards the heart and the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and to the muscle, both of the blood vessels are the same in that they both carry blood. The arteries have 'springier', thicker walls as they have to carry the blood at a higher pressure. The flex in the walls helps them to not burst under the pressure.
