The differences of the structure of an artery a veins a capillary?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart, and capillaries branch off of arteries and veins. Capillaries are essentially min-arteries and min-veins.
Do arteries have the same structure but much thicker walls than veins?
yes
What major arteries and veins are around the heart?
There are a few of them to list so click on 'related links' below and the link will take you to a picture of the heart and the veins and arteries.
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
What is the comparison between the structure of the vein and the artery?
the veins are narrower and the arteries are thicker because the arteries should have to withstand a great force
The function of the arteries and veins... how is this related to the function?
they all three carry blood
What do arteries and veins drain?
Arteries drain (pump blood) into veins. Veins drain into your lungs and heart to be re-oxygenated. (This is not true for veins and arteries to and from your lungs.)
What material surrounds veins and arteries?
Cellulose is what surronds veins and arteries.
What is the difference between the blood in the arteries and the blood in the veins?
Veins do not pulsate Arteries pulsate Veins can easily collapse Arteries do not collapse (except in shock) Veins contain valves Blood pressure is low in the veins and higher in the arteries
What is the difference between muscle in veins and arteries?
Thee difference between muscle in veins and arteries is that muscles of arteries are thicker compared to those of veins.
What two ways are veins structurally different from arteries?
blood travels away from the heart through arteries and blood travels to the heart through the veins
Contrast the structure of veins and arteries for thickness of muscle and elastic tissue?
The more pressure it uses, the thicker the walls will be. Veins have very low pressure which means they have thin walls and vice/versa for arteries which have a higher pressure and thicker walls than veins.
