What's the difference between an artery and a vein?

Biology

Answer:  An artery carries blood away from the heart; a vein carries blood to the heart.

Explanation: Veins carry blood towards the heart. This blood has given most of its oxygen to the body, so it is low on oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It enters the right side of the heart and travels to the lungs. There, the lungs eliminate carbon dioxide and exchange it for more oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood enters the left side of the heart. Then, arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary circulation brings blood from the heart to the lungs and back. Systemic circulation brings blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back.

Hope this helps!!! :))))))

The difference between an artery and a vein is that arteries are larger, more muscular and more elastic than veins; they carry blood that is under pressure from having been pumped out of the heart; veins are under much less pressure, so they are not as strong

kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.
