Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Veins and venules have much thinner, less muscular walls than arteries and arterioles, largely because the pressure in veins and venules is much lower. Veins may dilate to accommodate increased blood volume. If a blood vessel breaks, tears, or is cut, blood leaks out, causing bleeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Veins are thin-walled and are less elastic. This feature permits the veins to hold a very high percentage of the blood in circulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries have thick walls with muscle tissue. Veins have thinner walls and use valves to keep your blood flowing. Artery vs Capillary. Arteries carry blood from your heart to your organs.
