compare and contrast the structure of a vein and artery
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.
yes
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.
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
the veins are narrower and the arteries are thicker because the arteries should have to withstand a great force
they all three carry blood
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.)
Cellulose is what surronds veins and arteries.
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
Thee difference between muscle in veins and arteries is that muscles of arteries are thicker compared to those of veins.
blood travels away from the heart through arteries and blood travels to the heart through the veins
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.
