Question

State whether the following statement is true or false.

Veins generally have thicker walls than arteries.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The blood flow in the arteries is rapid and at high pressure, so the arteries have thick elastic walls while due to low pressure of blood in the veins, thicker walls are not necessary, so veins have thin walls.

Hence, the correct option is 'False'.
