Due to ventricular systole, the blood flows through arteries under pressure in a jerky motion. So it is better for the arteries to be placed deeply as lot of blood loss can occur when damaged if they are placed close to the skin.

∙ 15y agoThe body is a very well designed thing - and as arteries are vital for the continuation of blood flow to the body, they are deeper in the body so they are protected...
in addition to that - they are also kept warmer that way - to allow for the best blood flow....

∙ 13y agoThey have to be deep within the body so they can continuously pump oxygenated blood to major organs that lie deep inside the body. But sometimes, they transport deoxygenated blood (pulmonary artery), but they still must transfer that blood to the lungs fast. You're organs need the oxygenated blood so they can perform cellular respiration, that's the purpose of the circulatory system.

Why are veins not deep seated in body and only arteries are deep seated?
If arteries were as exposed as veins are, what do u think would happen if you got a cut? Our bodies try protect the major organs and vital parts from harm.

Examples: The sternum and rib cage protect our lungs and heart and our skull protects our brain.

The Related Links section has a link to a website that has a diagram of the arm.The bluish blood vessels visible when you look at your wrist are veins. The arteries are deeper and not located particularly near the veins. Gray's Anatomy has a transverse section of the wrist; if you look at it you'll see you'd have to cut fairly deeply to hit one of the arteries, and the other is buried behind a ligament.

Why are arteries found deep within the body and veins are found closer to the surface?
Arteries are not close to the surface in most places on the body because they need to be protected. But there are many places, called endangerment sites, where they are close to the surface, so health care workers need to be cautious when working in these areas. Usually, in most place on the body arteries and veins are close together, so are nerves.
