    Arteries carry blood away from the heart and have thick, elastic, muscular walls that stretch as blood is pumped in and contract to force blood along. Veins have thinner, less muscular walls than arteries and blood is under lower pressure than in arteries. Capillary walls are one cell thick and exchange of nutrients and gases occurs across their surface.

    Arteries carry blood away from the heart and have a thick, elastic, muscular wall. They stretch as blood is pumped in and the muscle wall contracts to force blood along. Veins have a relatively thinner and less muscular wall than arteries. The blood is under a lower pressure than in the arteries. Capillary walls are one cell thick. Exchange of nutrients and respiratory gases occurs across their surface.
