Chapter 11, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction
To relate: The anatomical difference between arteries and veins to their functions.
Introduction: The artery is a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the other parts of the body. The veins are blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Arteries | Veins |
The walls of the arteries are generally thicker and contain more smooth muscle and elastic fibers, enabling them to resist and adjust to the pressure generated by the heart. | The venous walls are thinner and the pressure in the veins is less than that in the arteries. |
The arteries constrict more than the veins. | The veins constrict less. This is because when the veins constrict, their capacity to hold blood is reduced. |
The endothelial lining of an artery has a rippled appearance. This is because it cannot contract and so forms folds. | The lining of a vein looks like a typical endothelial layer and it is smooth. |
