Question

Why do arteries have thicker muscular walls than veins?

Answer 1

Answer:

arteries have thick walls than any other blood vessels because in it blood flows with a High speed.

Answer 2

Explanation:

because arteries are a high- pressure compartment n veins are a low- pressure compartment.The artery with the highest blood pressure is the aorta from which blood exits the heart . Then blood pressure is progressively lower and lower until it reaches the veins to return to the heart

arteries need to have thicker walls to accomodate the increased blood pressure of the blood that flows through them.
