1. Structure: Arteries have thicker walls compared to veins.
2. Blood flow: Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart.
3. Blood pressure: Arteries have higher blood pressure due to the force exerted by the pumping of the heart, while veins have comparatively lower blood pressure.
4. Wall elasticity: Arteries have more elastic walls, allowing them to stretch and accommodate the surge of blood flow, while veins have less elastic walls.
5. Valves: Veins have valves to prevent the backflow of blood, whereas arteries lack valves.
6. Pulmonary circulation: Arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation, while veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs.
7. Color: Arteries appear bright red, while veins appear dark red or bluish.
8. Size: Arteries are generally thicker and smaller in diameter, while veins are larger and thinner.
9. Muscle layers: Arteries have more smooth muscle layers in their walls compared to veins.
10. Collateral circulation: Arteries have collateral circulation, which means they have alternate routes for blood flow in case of blockage, while veins do not have this feature.
11. Pulsation: Arteries exhibit rhythmic pulsation due to the heartbeat, while veins do not pulsate.
12. Location: Arteries are found deeper within the body, while veins are more superficial.
13. Blood volume: Arteries carry a larger portion of the blood volume, while veins carry a smaller portion.
14. Oxygen content: Arteries carry highly oxygenated blood, while veins carry relatively oxygen-depleted blood.
15. Blood clotting: Veins are more prone to blood clot formation, leading to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, while arteries have a lower risk.
16. Systolic/diastolic pressure: Arteries have a higher systolic pressure (when the heart contracts) and a lower diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes), while veins have relatively constant pressure throughout.
17. Density: Arteries are denser in number in the human body compared to veins.
18. Accuracy of pulse measurement: The pulse is commonly measured by locating an arterial pulse (e.g., radial pulse), as veins do not exhibit a pulsating sensation.
19. Lumen: Arteries have a smaller lumen (central space) in comparison to veins.
20. Branching: Arteries branch extensively throughout the body to supply oxygen and nutrients to various organs, while veins merge into a single large vein as they return blood to the heart.
