Viens do not have a pulse, but they do have valves that arteries do not. Most veins carry oxygenated blood toward the heart. The only exception is the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. The same is true for arteries. They carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body except the lungs. The pulmonary arteries are the only exception because they carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

What the difference between the pulmonary arteries and other arteries in the body?
they carry deoxygenated blood
How the anatomical differences between arteries and veins reflect their functional differences?
Tunica adventitia is poorly developed in arteries then in veins
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
What are the differences between arteries and veins and why are these differences necessary?
Arteries carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body. Veins are much smaller vessels that are used to bring the blood back to the heart.
What are differerences between veins and arteries?
Structurally, veins and arteries are very similar. The main differences is that veins move blood towards the heart, whereas arteries move blood away from the heart.
The differences between the left and the right atria?
the right artrium carries deoxygenated blood, while the left atrium carries oxygenated blood
What is the difference between a vain and a oltery?
arteries carry oxygenated blood, veins carry deoxygenated blood. that's why arterial blood is lighter in color than blood from veins.
What major differences are there between a vein and a artery?
Oxygen rich blood travels through the Arteries and Oxygen poor blood travels through the Veins.EXCEPT: Oxygen poor Blood traveling from the heart to the lungs goes through the Pulmonary Arteries and Oxygen rich blood going back to the heart from the lungs travels through the Pulmonary Veins.
Differentiate vains arteries and capilliaries?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood, arteries carry oxygenated blood, and capillaries are for gas exchange between tissues and blood. One exception to that is the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins of the heart -- they are named backward. The pulmonary artery actually carries the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood?
The only artery that is supposed to carry deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It carried deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Any artery can carry deoxygenated blood, so be careful how you word questions.
What are ten differences between arteries and veins?
well here is one: Veins- oxygen-poor blood that is returning to the heart Arteries- oxygen-rich blood that is going to the cells
What are the smilarites between arteries and vein?
they both carry blood, differences: Veins- oxygen-poor blood that is returning to the heart Arteries- oxygen-rich blood that is going to the cells
