They're both blood vessels. But unlike a artery which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, the veins carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart where it can exchange gases in the lungs later. Also, veins have valves (to prevent blood flowing backwards) where as arteries generally do not.

What if one vein is missing in the umbilical cord?
There are usually two veins and one artery in the cord. The veins carry oxygenated blood and the artery is low in oxygen. If the only artery is missing, the pregnancy will end very early. If one vein is missing, most infants are delivered and are fine.
Does the renal artery contain higher levels of glucose than then renal vein?
No, the renal artery carries blood with higher levels of oxygen and nutrients to the kidneys, while the renal vein carries blood with waste products, including urea and carbon dioxide, away from the kidneys. Glucose is typically reabsorbed in the renal tubules, so the levels of glucose are lower in the renal vein compared to the renal artery.

How are the jobs of a vein and artery the same?
Whilst the vein carries deoxygenated blood towards the heart and the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and to the muscle, both of the blood vessels are the same in that they both carry blood. The arteries have 'springier', thicker walls as they have to carry the blood at a higher pressure. The flex in the walls helps them to not burst under the pressure.
Is Artery more thicker than vein?
the wall of an artery is usuallythicker that the wall of a vein.
