- Veins are less flexible than arteries.
- 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 veins carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. Your body also contains other, smaller blood vessels.

Answer:
Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart, while veins carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. An easy mnemonic is "A for 'artery' and 'away' (from the heart)." ... Many veins, especially those in the legs, have valves to prevent the backflow and pooling of blood.
