How do arteries differ from veins?     Arteries have thicker smooth muscle layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the heart.     Arteries carry blood.     Arteries have thinner smooth muscle layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscle.     Arteries are thin walled and are used for gas exchange.     Arteries have direct connections to capillaries whereas veins do not.
