Question

Name the blood vessel which has the thickest wall.

Answer 1

Blood vessel:

1. The networks of hollow tubes like pipes, which carry blood to and from all parts of the body, are called blood vessels.
2. These vessels carry blood in both directions, i.e. one from the heart to all other parts and another from all body parts to the heart.
3. These are of 3 types: veins, capillaries, and arteries.
4. Arteries have thick walls and are situated superficially in comparison to other blood vessels.
5. Arteries are blood vessels, the network of pathways through which the oxygenated blood travels away from the heart to various cells, tissues, and organs of the human body.
6. This is due to the fact that these blood vessels are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood across the body under high pressure.
7. If the walls of these blood vessels are thinner, they will be weakened, resulting in blood loss from blood vessel rupture.
