arteries 've short lumen where as veins 've large lumen.
Double-lumen PICC lines come in two colors. Red is the blood access lumen or arterial lumen and blue is the blood return lumen or venous lumen. Despite the names, neither lumen is leads to an artery, but both lead into a vein.
heyy yoo.. wacky... it's always.. positive..
Lumen is a type of liquid which resides in the elementary kennel. It helps transporting absorbed foods to the liver through the hepatic portal vein made by blood vessels joining up in the small intestines. So the lumen helps with assimilation
veins have many thin layers with circular elastic and muscle fibres and a wide lumen
Arteries are more elastic but have smaller lumen. They carry blood away from the heart. Veins are less elastic have larger lumen and have valves. They carry blood to the heart.
There are a number of structures that help with the one way flow of blood through the veins. These include valves in the vein lumen, and the assistance of surrounding skeletal muscle.
A triple lumen catheter is typically placed in a large central vein, such as the subclavian or internal jugular vein. This allows for multiple lumens to be used for various purposes, such as administering medications, fluids, and drawing blood. Proximity to the heart provides rapid delivery of substances into circulation.
The vessel with a larger lumen would be a vein, as veins have thinner walls and larger lumens compared to arteries. This allows veins to accommodate more blood flow.
For veins the longest is The great saphenous vein. For arteries width wise it would be the aorta but length it's the the superficial femoral artery.
