Question

Difference between artery and capillary​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. They're tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily. ... The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Artery

• Arteries carry pure blood from heart to all the parts of the body

• They are deeply seated.
• The wall of the arteries are elastic and thick.
• arteries have narrow lumen
• Blood flows in high pressure

• Arteries do not have valves

capillary

• On reaching an organ or tissue, the artery divides into smaller and smaller vessel to bring the blood in contact with all the individual cells. These smaller vessels are capillaries.

• Capillaries are the smallest vessels which are one cell thick.
• Exchange of materials between the blood and surrounding take place across this thin wall.
