Veins don't carry blood at high pressure arteries carry blood at high pressure.
Arteries have a thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flowing through them.
No, veins are not under high pressure. High-pressure vessels are the arteries.
High blood pressure.
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
Indirectly perhaps, but it is the heart and the system of veins and arteries which are the problem in high blood pressure; the heart is pumping extra hard and/or the arteries/veins are restricted by blockage.
it does affect the blood vessels causing the blood vessels to build up with plaque causing hypertension (high blood pressure)
Blood flows slower in veins than arteries because veins have valves.Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, whereas the heart pumps oxygenated blood through the arteries to the body. Because it is going to the whole body, this blood needs to be at a high speed and under lots of pressure. Thus the heart contracts and pumps it through thick, muscular arteries under high pressure.Veins are thinner walled and have valves so that there is no backflow of deoxygenated blood due to the low pressure of the blood in veins. If veins were under high pressure they would gush into the heart and cause it to burst/explode.
no
yes
It will affect our heart.
arteries, as the arteries take blood away from the heart, and to carry the blood all the way around the body the blood needs to be travelling at a high pressure.
High Blood Pressure( keyword blood lol) It effects circulatory system(Blood). :D
The blood is under low pressure once entering the capillary.
