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.

Eddi Din [679]
      Latitude 12 N, Longitude 45 W is in the North Atlantic Ocean. This is the region where tropical cyclones ( hurricanes ) can start. Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds. They form only over warm ocean waters near the Equator.
      There are 6 main requirements for formation of a hurricane:
      - warm sea surface temperature,
      - atmospheric instability,
      - high humidity in the lower to middle level of the troposphere,
      - enough Coriolis force to develop a low pressure center,
      - a preexisting low level focus or disturbance,
      - low vertical wind sheer.
       Answer:
      Those are favorable conditions for a hurricane but you also need other factors.
