Excitable cells like those found in muscle tissue are expected to be present in higher quantities in arteries than in veins.

<h3>What are Excitable cells?</h3>

Excitable cells are defined as those cells that are capable of generating electrical impulses when stimulated. Example of such cells include:

Neurons,

muscle cells( smooth, skeletal and cardiac)

Endocrine cells.

The artery is made up of higher amount of smooth muscles than the veins therefore, excitable cells like those found in muscle tissue are expected to be present in higher quantities in arteries than in veins.
