what are differences of the various functions of veins and artificial?
Arteries: They Have thick Tunica media and all three layers are
well differentiated.
- Lumen is smaller compared to the wall thickness.
- They mostly carry oxygenated to periphery.
- Due to thick Tunica media, they regulate the blood pressure
Veins :- They Have thin Tunica media and all three layers are
not well differentiated.
- Lumen is larger compared to the wall thickness.
- They mostly carry deoxygenated towards the heart.
- Due to larger lumen, they carry most of the blood at a given
instant. Hence they are called capacitance vessels.
