What else can I help you with?
Are veins thicker than arteries?
The tunica media is thicker in arteries than in veins.
Is the middle layer thicker in veins or arteries?
arteries.
Is arteries wall thicker or veins?
artries
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 has thinner walls arteries or veins?
Arteries have thicker wall because the pressure in the arteries is much higher.
What is difference between arteies vein?
arteries are thicker then veins
Are the walls in arteries thicker than the walls in veins?
The arterial walls are thicker because they need to withstand the pressure coming from the heart.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Are arteries thicker and stronger than veins and have two major properties?
Yes, Arteries are stronger and thicker than veins because they get more pressure from the heart. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins take blood toward the heart. The two major properties of artieries are their elasticity and contactility.
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.
Do arteries have the same structure but much thicker walls than veins?
yes
Are arteries thicker and stronger than veins?
Yes! The aorta is the largest artery.
