arteries
Because they have to deal with high pressure blood
liquid can leak in and out of capillaries, and arteries and veins have such thick walls, and their jobs are just to bring blood to and from the heart. NO need for diffusion in these.
arteries are thick walled blood vessels carring oxygenated blood from heart to the various parts of the body.pulmonary arteries act as veins and carry deoxegenated blood from the right auricle to the lungs,Thus it is different from the arteries
Muscular arteries
Arteries have thick walls to withstand the high pressure of blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. The thick walls help maintain the shape and structure of the arteries, allowing them to efficiently transport oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs.
