rteries in the body is more than the total length of veins, and the elastic layer helps push the blood over the longer length. Valves present in veins provide a mechanism for withstanding high blood pressure flow going through veins.

Answer:

Blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins, and the elastic layer helps maintain the structure of the artery.
