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.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.
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 material surrounds veins and arteries?
Cellulose is what surronds veins and arteries.
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 is the difference between muscle in veins and arteries?
Thee difference between muscle in veins and arteries is that muscles of arteries are thicker compared to those of veins.
What two ways are veins structurally different from arteries?
blood travels away from the heart through arteries and blood travels to the heart through the veins
