MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoWhy are veins thinner than arteries?
Veins have much lower pressure, so their walls are thinner. Veins also have one-way stop valves to prevent blood from flowing backward.https://www.webmd.com/heart/difference-between-arteries-and-veins

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoTwo types of veins
Pulmonary veins. The pulmonary circuit carries deoxygenated blood from your heart to your lungs.
Systemic veins. The systemic circuit carries deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body back to your heart, where it then enters the pulmonary circuit for oxygen.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoWhat are the two types of veins?
1. Pulmonary veins- these are major blood channels that transport oxygenated blood from lungs to the rest of the body.
2. Systemic veins- The systemic circuit transports deoxygenated blood back to the heart, which is oxygenated via the pulmonary circuit. The systemic veins rule.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoWhat are the two types of veins:
Systemic Veins:
These veins collect and carry the deoxygenated blood from all over the body to the right atrium.Pulmonary Veins:
These veins carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. There are four prominent pulmonary veins – two emerging from each lung.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoArteries and veins are responsible in circulating blood throughout the body. Both maintain the flow of the blood to the body. Arteries and veins consist of various layers of cells that maintain the structure. These vessels are flexible and provide nutrients to the body.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoArteries and veins have three major differences:
• Direction of Blood Flow: Arteries carry blood away from the heart; veins carry blood toward the heart.
• Blood Oxygenation: Arteries (mostly) carry oxygenated blood; veins (mostly) carry deoxygenated blood.
• Wall Structure: Arteries have thick, muscular walls; veins have thinner walls and c…[Read more]

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoDo veins have valves?
Yes. Veins, unlike arteries, have valves that ensure blood only travels in one way. Arteries don’t need valves since the heart’s pressure is so high that blood can only flow in one way. Valves also assist blood is returning to the heart against gravity.

Yes, veins do have valves.what do they look like, what do they do, what are its contents?
The primary function of venous valves is to:
1. Prevent backflow: Blood flows through the vein in one direction, and the valve closes to prevent it from flowing backward.
2. Maintain blood flow: Valves ensure blood keeps moving…[Read more] -

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoArteries and veins are similar in various ways:
* Both components of the body’s circulatory system.
* they are both blood vessels that transports blood throughout the body.
* Made up of different layers.
* Both are moving in one directional blood transportation.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 7 months agoVeins have much thinner walls than do arteries, largely because the pressure in veins is so much lower. Veins can widen (dilate) as the amount of fluid in them increases.

The arteries are thicker and stretchier to resist blood pressure. This allows veins to transport more blood for longer than arteries.
