Arteries vs Veins: Structural Difference

In this video, we explore the structural differences between arteries and veins. Arteries, with their thick and strong walls, carry blood directly from the heart, handling high pressure with elasticity. This strength is necessary to manage the forceful blood flow. When you feel your pulse, it's the artery walls expanding and contracting with each heartbeat.

Veins, however, have thinner walls as they operate under much lower pressure. They also feature one-way valves that keep blood flowing toward the heart and prevent backflow, which is crucial, especially in the legs where blood needs to move upward against gravity.

Understanding these differences is vital for grasping how blood circulates efficiently in the body. Follow for more simplified MedScience.
