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.

How do arteries deffer from veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, have thicker walls (more muscle and elastic tissue) and smaller lumens. Veins carry blood towards the heart, have thinner walls, and larger lumens. They also have one-way valves to prevent backflow of blood to the lower extremeties.
