Solution

Arteries Veins Capillaries

Arteries have thick elastic and more muscular walls. Veins have thin and less muscular walls

Capillary is a narrow blood vessel whose walls have a thin layer of endothelium cells

Arteries carry oxygenated blood(except pulmonary arteries) away from the heart to all of the body’s tissue Veins carry deoxygenated blood(except pulmonary vein) from tissues to heart.

Capillaries are the terminal branches of arteries, which rejoin to form a vein.
