Compare the thickness of the walls of the superior and inferior vena cava and the aorta?
The aorta has significantly thicker walls than the superior and inferior venae cavae as the aorta is an artery that must respond to significant intraluminal pressures whereas the venae cavae are veins that have minimal intraluminal pressure.

Compare and contrast the largest blood vessels found in the human body?
The largest blood vessels in the human body are the aorta and the vena cava. The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body, while the vena cava comprises two large veins (superior and inferior) that return deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Both vessels play critical roles in the circulatory system, but they transport blood in opposite directions and differ in structure; the aorta has thicker, more muscular walls to withstand high pressure, whereas the vena cava has thinner walls due to lower pressure.
What are the main blood vessels leding to and from the heart?
Inferior Vena Cava, Superior Vena Cava, Pulmonary Artery and Vein, Aorta
Difference between aorta and vena cava?
aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the whole body while vena cava carries de-oxygenated blood from the body to the heart
