Question

what is the difference between artery vein and capillary​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is the difference between arteries, veins and capillaries?

Arteries, veins and capillaries are all types of blood vessels. The best way to think about their differences are the roles they play in circulation. So, if we take the systemic circulation as an example (that is the circulation from the heart to the body and back to the heart) we can look at the key features of each vessel.

Arteries are taking blood away from the heart (this is oxygenated blood in the systemic circulation). So, they have to deal with the big pump of high pressure the heart generates with each beat. Therefore, they need to have:

Thick muscular walls

Plenty of elastic tissue to spring back to their original shape

A thin lumen to keep pressure high enough for it to reach the tissues

Next the blood flows into capillaries. These are where the blood deposits oxygen into the tissues so they can respire. So, if you think about how gas transport works they need to have:

Very thin walls - one cell thick

There needs to be lots of capillaries to supply all the tissues properly

So there is low pressure because the blood has spread from few arteries to many capillaries

Finally, the deoxygenated blood flows into veins to begin its journey back to the heart. Now remember the capillaries contain low pressure blood to pass on to veins so the veins don't need thick walls like arteries. But without high pressure to keep the blood moving they will need a way to keep blood moving in the right direction (often against gravity - i.e. from the leg).

Thin walls

Valves to stop blood going backwards

Large lumen

So that is the key differences between the structure of these vessels varies and how it relates to their function.

Answer 2

~~~《《《☆HEY☆》》》~~~

Explanation:

Arteries carry oxygen rich blood from the heart to all parts of the body.Theit walls are generally thicker than veins.

Whereas veins carry carbon dioxide rich blood from all parts of the body back to the heart .

Capillaries are linked between arteries and veins and are very small.
