Arteries:
Arteries carry oxygenated blood, away from the heart except pulmonary arteryThese are mostly deeply situated in the bodyThese are thick-walled, highly muscular except arteries of cranium and vertebral columnThese posses narrow lumenValves are absentThese are reddish in colorThese show spurty movement of blood giving pulseBlood in arteries moves with pressureArteries empty up at the time of deathIf arterial wall is injured, the blood comes out like a ‘fountain’ in a large area all around the artery
Veins:
Veins carry deoxygenated blood, towards the heart except pulmonary veinsThese are superficial and deep in locationThese are thin-walledThese posses wide lumenValves are present which provide unidirectional flow of bloodThese are bluish in colorThese show sluggish movement of bloodBlood in veins moves under very low pressureVeins get filled up at time of deathIf venous wall is injured, blood comes out, collects in a pool in a small area around vein

Comparison between Artery and Vein:
Artery
Vein
Type
Blood vessel
Blood vessel
Part of
Circulatory system
Circulatory system
Flow
Carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body
Carries blood from the rest of the body back to the heart
Type of blood
Mostly carries oxygenated blood
Mostly carries deoxygenated blood
Color
Appear red due to oxygenated blood
Appear blue due to deoxygenated blood
Anatomy
Thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flowing through the arteries.
Thin, elastic muscle layer with semilunar valves that prevent the blood from flowing in the opposite direction.
Location
Deeper in the body
Closer to the surface of the skin
Valves
Aren't present (except for semi-lunar valves)
Are present, especially in limbs
Walls
More rigid
Collapsible walls
