Question

Veins do not require thick walls.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In arteries, there is a lot more pressure, due to the force of blood being pumped outwards from the heart, so they need thicker walls in order to prevent bursting. In veins, the pressure is much less, and so thinner walls are present. Hence, veins do not require thick walls.
