Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries: These strong, muscular blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body. They handle a large amount of force and pressure from your blood flow but don’t carry a large volume of blood. At any given time, only about 10% to 15% of your body’s blood is in your arteries.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pulmonary artery and the aorta, on the other hand, carry blood out of the heart, and therefore carry blood at tremendous pressure owing to the systolic pressure of the ventricles.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the circulatory system, the highest pressure of blood is found to be present at the site of the aorta, while the lowest is found to be within the venous vessels.
Detailed explanation-4: -Blood pressure is much greater in arteries than in veins because of the pumping action of the heart.
