BLOOD VESSELS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Veins under ____ pressure
A
Lower
B
Higher
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries have thick walls so they can handle the high pressure and velocity that expels your blood out of your heart. Veins carry blood back to your heart from the rest of your body. The pressure of the blood returning to the heart is very low, so the walls of veins are much thinner than arteries.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.
