Question

Veins have thin walls as compared to arteries.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Arteries carry blood from the heart to various organs of the body under high pressure so they have thick and elastic walls. Veins collect the blood from different organs and bring it back to the heart. The blood is no longer under pressure, so the walls are thin with valves to ensure that blood flows only in one direction.
