What do collecting lymphatic vessels NOT share in common with veins of the cardiovascular system?
Thickness of the walls.
Contrast the structure of veins and arteries for thickness of muscle and elastic tissue?
The more pressure it uses, the thicker the walls will be. Veins have very low pressure which means they have thin walls and vice/versa for arteries which have a higher pressure and thicker walls than veins.
Compare the wall thickness and diameter of the three different types of blood vessels?
Blood vessels have the job of carrying blood to the various parts of the body that needs them. The three main varieties of blood vessel are, arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries, veins and capillaries vary greatly in size, length and thickness from person.
What are three different ways you can classify?
Leaves can be classified from their edges (e.g. lobed, jagged), their veins (e.g. network veins, parallel veins), their shapes (e.g. oval, circle), their size (e.g. large, small), their thickness (e.g. flat, thick), and their colour (e.g. yellow, red).we can classify leafs acording to there edges,size,colour,

What causes blue veins to show through skin?
There really isn't a cause, it's just the lack of melanin or the thickness or your skin at that point. If you are really pale you have a higher chance of blue veins showing. On areas like your hands you can see veins because your skin is thinner there. On areas like your lower legs, the veins are larger and are therefore more visible.

Why are arteries and veins have a difference of thickness?
arteries need to withstand the pressure of the blood being pumped away from the heart. the heart needs a lot of pressure to pump blood throughout the body through the arteries, so they need to be thicker. veins don't have to be as thick because they are just carrying the blood back.
Are chest veins in teenage girls common?
no Yes they are. Some are just more visible that others due to how close to the skin they are and the thickness of the fat layer. During puberty and breast development, the skin will become stretched and thinner and more transparent allowing some veins to stand out more. These should become less visible with time.
What types of veins are there?
There are three major categories of veins: superficial veins, deep veins, and perforating veins. All varicose veins are superficial veins; they lie between the skin and a layer of fibrous connective tissue called fascia.
What kinds of veins are there?
There are three types of veins, superficial veins that are just beneath the surface of the skin, deep veins that are large blood vessels found deep inside muscles, and perforator veins that connect the superficial veins to the deep veins.
What Veins in humans which ends in capillaries and not in larger veins?
Pulmonary veins
