Question
Tabulate the differences between arteries and veins.

Answer

Arteries:
  1. Carry blood from the heart to all parts of the body.
  2. Carry oxygenated blood (Except pulmonary artery).
  3. They have thick elastic muscular walls.
  4. Valves are absent.
  5. Blood flows under high pressure.
Veins:
  1. Carry blood from all parts of the body back to the heart.
  2. Carry deoxygenated blood (Except pulmonary vein).
  3. They have thin non-elastic valves.
  4. Valves are present to prevent the backward flow of blood.
  5. Blood flows under low pressure.
