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, 5 months agoVeins are thinner than arteries because they have less smooth muscles and connective tissue despite having three layers. Their layers are thinner because the blood has lower pressure than the blood in arteries.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 months ago1. Why are veins thinner than arteries?
Arteries pump blood away from the heart, and when blood is pumped out, these blood vessels need to resist the high pressure caused by the process. It is essential as this type of blood vessel maintains pressure and controls blood…[Read more] -

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 months agoTwo Types of Veins
1. Pulmonary veins. The pulmonary circuit carries deoxygenated blood from your heart to your lungs.
2. 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, 5 months agoWhy are veins thinner than arteries?
Veins 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.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 months agoSimilarities between Arteries and Veins
Arteries and veins have walls that share a common overall structure that consists of three layers: the tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. The inner layer or tunica intima is lined with a single layer of a specialized epithelium called the endothelium, which acts as a semipermeable…[Read more]

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 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, 5 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, 5 months ago1. Deep Veins: These veins are located deep within the muscles and along bones. They are responsible for carrying the majority of blood back to the heart. Deep veins have valves that prevent blood from flowing backward.
2. Superficial Veins: These veins are located closer to the skin’s surface. They are smaller than deep veins and carry a smaller…[Read more] -

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 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, 5 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, 5 months agoYour arteries are thicker and stretchier to be able to handle the higher pressure of blood moving through them. Your veins are thinner and less stretchy. This structure helps veins move higher amounts of blood over a longer time than arteries.

MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 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]

Marnelle Navarro posted an update in the group
MT 13 – CD 1 year, 5 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.
