Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries are defined as the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues. On the other hand, veins are defined as the vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from organs back to the heart. On the other hand, capillaries are defined as the smallest vessels that link arteries and veins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries have thick walls composed of three distinct layers (tunica) Veins have thin walls but typically have wider lumen (lumen size may vary depending on specific artery or vein) Capillaries are very small and will not be easily detected under the same magnification as arteries and veins.
