to carry blood to and from the kidneys.
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.
compare and contrast the structure of a vein and artery
Deoxygenated With the exception of the pulmonary vessels, veins carry deoxygenated blood; arteries carry oxygenated blood.
yes
They pump blood trough our body
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.

The main kind of blood vessels are Veins,Arteries, and Capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to other organs. Veins carry blood with carbon dioxide back to the heart. Capillaries connect Veins and Arteries and let oxygen out to the organs and carbon dioxide in to the veins.
the veins are narrower and the arteries are thicker because the arteries should have to withstand a great force
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
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.)
