Because the arteries carry blood away from the heart.
It's important for arteries to be buried deep within the body for their protection. A rupture or breach of an arterial wall can result in rapid and dangerous blood loss because the contained blood is under high pressure.
because if it is close to your skin it will be weasily wounded
becasuse wounded to your skin
arteries and veins are found throughout the body. arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry it to the heart
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. Veins on the other hand aren't AS important as arteries therefore the body can take the risk of veins being more exposed. Examples: The sternum and rib cage protect our lungs and heart and our skull protects our brain.
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.
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.
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.
They accompany arteries with a top hat and sometimes a walking cane...hope this helps
If buried deep enough in the earth, metamorphic.
I bet he is buried 7 inches deep in your granpa's ass !
