Question

write any six difference between arteries​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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.
• Valves are present to prevent the backward flow of blood.
• Blood flows under low pressure.

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.
• Absence of valves.
• Blood flows under high pressure.
