What do you say that larger lymph vessels are comparable to veins rather than arteries?

Veins have wider lumens than arteries. Veins have thin muscular walls since low pressured blood passes through veins. the walls of the veins however have the same components as in arteries, that is, they have a muscular wall, a connective tissue wall, an endothelium and a layer of elastic tissue. Since arteries experience higher pressured blood the muscular player is much thicker than the one in the veins. therefore, the lumen of the artery is much smaller than that of the vein. Therefore, since lymphatic materials must pass through lymph vessels having the materials being somewhat large, a wider lumen is needed, like that of the veins.

Is it true that the pulse can be felt on arteries but not on veins?
Yes, it's true. The beating of the heart only drives blood in the arteries. As the blood passes from the arteries to the capillaries and then to the veins, it ceases to be pumped by the heart, so no pulse can be felt. Blood in the veins returns to the heart because of the valves in the veins, and because of general muscular contractions in the body, rather than because of the heart.
What is arteiosclerosis?
a condition when blood vessels lose their elasticity, the blood starts to flow more intermittently rather than a constant flow due to the arteries are unable to expand and relax with the pulse as easily
Why is artherosclerosis especially serious when it develops in the coronary arteries?
Bigger volume means less pressure on the sides, so pieces of junk can stick easier, rather than being blasted through in the small vessels.
Why is the strcture of arteries different from veins?
This is because arteries have more force going through them than veins do. Arteries have a higher level of pressure as opposed to veins who are more relaxed and just have blood being pushed along through them rather than FORCED. If you put a vein in place of an artery, it would probably just burst.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries?
Heart disease typically does not cause fatty deposits in the arteries. Rather the process is the other way around: an unhealthy diet high in fat and cholesterol causes a build up of fatty deposits, and these deposits lead to heart diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease.

Why the larger arteries appear to be white rather than red but the larger veins are blue?
Not sure about the white arteries but the blue is non oxygenated blood.

What is the differences between a ateries and blood vessels?
There are 3 types of blood vessels: Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to all the cells in the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart where it is pumped into the lungs. There is releases CO2 gas and picks up O2 and is pumped back into the heart where Arteries take it back to the rest of the body again. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels connecting veins and arteries.

What rule are the pulmonary arteries an exception to?
Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood. But the pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle, carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs. They follow the rule of "arteries leave the heart" rather than the more specific rule "arteries leave the left ventricle."
What is a tiny blood vessel that connects in arteriole to a venule?
The blood vessels in between arteries and veins are the capillaries. But, they do not link them together, rather, they both have openings, through their capillaries, into the interstitial space which is the space between the cells of the tissues of the body.
Is Vacuoles smaller or larger in plant cells rather than animal cells?
It Is Larger!!
What nerves send blood to the body?
Nerves do not send blood, rather it is arteries and veins that transports blood throughout the body.
What vessel does the lymph exit through?
A lymph vessel. They are similar in function to blood vessels. However the lymph is moved along the vessel by muscle contractions rather than by the heart pumping.
