Which blood vessel have thin walls and contain valves?
Veins
What is the term for a thin-walled blood vessel with valves that carries blood to the heart?
Veins are thin-walled blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. The valves in veins help prevent backflow. In contrast, arteries have thicker walls and no valves. They carry blood away from the heart.
One-way valves are found in which blood vessels?
Veins. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from tissues and organs back to the heart; they have thin walls and one-way valves.
Which pairs of blood vessels have thin walls and wide lumens?
Veins and lymphatic vessels have thin walls and wide lumens. The thin walls of veins allow for flexibility and capacitance, accommodating varying volumes of blood. Lymphatic vessels, which transport lymph fluid, also feature thin walls to facilitate the absorption and movement of interstitial fluid. Both types of vessels rely on surrounding tissues for support and are equipped with valves to prevent backflow.
What is a explanation for the differences in size and thickness of the different vessels?
Arteries are thicker and have more smooth muscle to withstand high pressure and maintain blood flow. Veins are thinner and contain valves to prevent backflow of blood. Capillaries are tiny and thin-walled to facilitate gas exchange between blood and tissues.
What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin blood vessels of the lungs?
When blood is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs, carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.

What layer of the heart forms the valves?
The valves of the heart are formed by the endocardium, which is the innermost layer of the heart. This thin layer of tissue lines the heart chambers and is continuous with the inner lining of blood vessels. The endocardium provides a smooth surface for blood flow and is essential for the proper functioning of the heart's valves.
Tiny thin blood vessels where carbon dioxide are exchanged?
I believe the tiny blood vessels are called capillaries, located in the lungs.
Thin-walled blood vessels less elastic than arteries?
aorta
What is the thin membrane lining the heart that is continiuous with the lining of the blood vessels?
endocardium
