Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blood pressure in the arteries is much higher than in the veins, in part due to receiving blood from the heart after contraction, but also due to their contractile capacity. The tunica media of arteries is thickened compared to veins, with smoother muscle fibers and elastic tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Usually, blood pressure starts to rise a few hours before a person wakes up. It continues to rise during the day, peaking in midday. Blood pressure typically drops in the late afternoon and evening. Blood pressure is usually lower at night while sleeping.
