Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In other words, in comparison to arteries, venules and veins withstand a much lower pressure from the blood that flows through them. Their walls are considerably thinner and their lumens are correspondingly larger in diameter, allowing more blood to flow with less vessel resistance.
Detailed explanation-2: -These are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues. These have thick-walled and narrower lumens because they carry blood from the heart with great pressure.
