Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Arterioles receive blood from arteries, which are vessels with a much larger lumen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your inferior vena cava, your body’s largest vein, carries oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm). Your superior vena cava, your second biggest vein, brings oxygen-poor blood from your upper body to your heart. Think of it like a bus line.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries are more muscular and have smaller, rounder lumens (internal spaces) than veins. The artery lumen has a wavy endothelium, or inner lining, due to the configuration of elastic tissue beneath it.
