What is the difference between artries veins and capillaries?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, to the cells that need them. Veins carry blood containing carbon dioxide back to the heart after the oxygen has been given to the cells. Capillaries are the thinnest arteries and veins. They are only one cell wide. As the blood cell passes through the very thin capillary, the cells on either side are given oxygen and carbon dioxide is taken from them. Therefore, the capillaries connect the arteries and veins. Veins are thinner than arteries. Arteries are thicker than capillaries.
What Carry blood with oxygen away from the heart?

Structural similarities between arteries and vein?
