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.
