The chief difference between arteries and veins is the job that they do.Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and veinscarry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. Your body also contains other, smaller blood vessels.



There are a number of differences between veins and arteries.

Veins:

carry blood from the tissues of the body back to the heart

are usually positioned closer beneath the surface of the skin

are less muscular than arteries, but contain valves to help keep blood flowing in the right direction, usually toward the heart

would collapse if blood flow stops.

Arteries:

carry blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body

are usually positioned deeper within the body

are more muscular than veins, which helps in transporting blood that is full of oxygen efficiently to the tissues

would generally remain open if blood flow stopped, due to their thick muscular layer.
