    Arteries and Veins Chart

    Uploaded by

    The document provides a comparative chart and description of arteries and veins. The chart compares the two based on their role, color, location, type of blood carried, lumen size, wall thickness, tunica layers, types, muscle tissue, blood pressure, blood volume, ability to detect a pulse, presence of valves, main diseases, and effect if blood flow stops. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, are red, deep within the body, have narrow lumens, thick muscular walls, and can develop atherosclerosis. Veins carry deoxygenated blood toward the heart, are blue, near the skin, have broad lumens, thin walls, and can develop deep vein thrombosis.

    Comparative chart of Arteries and veins and image of the blood flow of the

    heart with the description of how is the process of it (done in ACT-1 FDM)
    Make a comparative chart of Arteries and veins.
    BASIS FOR COMPARISON ARTERIES VEINS

    Role The artery carries oxygenated Veins carry deoxygenated blood


    blood away from the heart. towards the heart.

    Colour Red in colour, as they carry Blue in colour, as they carry


    oxygenated blood. deoxygenated blood.

    Location Arteries located deep within the Veins are present close to the
    body. skin, in the body.

    Kind of blood Oxygenated blood, except Deoxygenated blood except for


    pulmonary artery. As pulmonary pulmonary veins. As pulmonary
    artery carries deoxygenated veins carry oxygenated blood.

    Lumen Narrow lumen. Broad lumen.

    Wall Thick walled, which is more Thin walled and are less elastic.

    Types Pulmonary and Systemic artery. Superficial veins, deep veins,

    Blood pressure More. Less.

    Blood volume Low, which is around 30%. High, which is around 65%.

    Pulse Detectable in the artery. Undetectable in veins.
