Why blood pressure is higher in arteries than viens?

Answer 1

Arteries carry blood full of oxygen from the heart to your body's organs. Veins carry the blood back to the heart after the oxygen in the blood has been depleated by your body's organs. Since arteries are closer to the outlet of the heart, they also have a higher blood pressure than veins. It is also interesting to note that arteries tend to be closer to the core of your body, whereas veins tend to be closer to the outside surface of your body.

Answer 2

Arterial blood is under pressure from the action of the heart while venous blood, being on its way back, moves more slowly and steadily. You can tell if an artery is cut by the bright red color of the blood and the spurting action of the blood flow. Venous blood is darker and flows evenly.

Answer 3

arteries press the blood with very high pressure into the veins
