How do veins differ from arteries

Biology
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Veins carry deoxygenated blood (oxygen poor blood) from other parts of the body to the heart while arteries carry oxygenated blood (oxygen rich blood) away from the heart to other parts of the body.

Explanation: Arteries carry oxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary artery while veins carry oxygen poor blood with the exception of pulmonary vein.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towards the heart.

Arteries have thick, elastic, mucscular walls while veins have thin, less elastic walls.

Arteries have smaller holes inside through which blood passes while veins have wider holes.

Blood flows through the arteries at high pressure while blood flows through the veins at low pressure.

Pls help 13 min left Evolution attempts to show that life began as simple organisms in the???
Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

Evolution is a slow natural process occurring in living organisms which explains the formation of the diversity of organisms on Earth. In simple terms, evolution explains how life survived on Earth after the origin of life but it cannot explain the origin of life. However, modern evolutionary biologists are now trying to decode the origin of life through evolutionary evidence and support that earlier form of life originated in the large oceans around 3.5 billion years ago. These organisms are simple living unicellular organisms which later evolved into the eukaryotic organisms.
