9.Lumina is narrow

10.Valves are absent

11.Arteries are at a greater risk of certain diseases like angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, etc.

<h3>Veins-</h3>

1.Involved in carrying impure, deoxygenated blood

2.Consists of three distinct layers, which are thin and collapsible.

3.Peripherally located closer to the skin.

4.Blue in colour.

5.Carry blood towards the heart from the various parts of the body.

6.Low pressure, as the blood flows by the capillary action of the veins.

7.Comparatively low oxygen level.

8.The level of carbon dioxide is high

9.In upward direction from the body tissues to the heart.

10.Lumina is wide & Valves are present.

11.Veins are less susceptible to diseases such as varicose veins.
