Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries are the largest blood vessels with the thickest walls, and capillaries are the smallest. Arteries are only located deep inside your muscles, but capillaries are inside tissues all over your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The largest artery in the body is Aorta that pumps oxygenated blood into the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Arteries experience a pressure wave as blood is pumped from the heart. This can be felt as a “pulse.” Because of this pressure the walls of arteries are much thicker than those of veins.
Detailed explanation-5: -Since the blood pumped from the heart into the arteries flows at higher pressure than the blood in veins, hence arteries need to have thicker walls or else the high blood pressure might cause them to burst.
