Veins have much thinner walls, because the blood they carry is under low pressure. VEINS have valves that aid the return of blood to the heart and prevent blood from going backwards. ARTERIES do not have valves, except for the semi-lunar valves of the pulmonary artery and the aorta. ARTERIES have relatively narrow lumens, VEINS have relatively wide lumens.
The walls of veins have the same three layers as the arteries. Although all the layers are present, there is less smooth muscle and connective tissue. This makes the walls of veins thinner than those of arteries, which is related to the fact that blood in the veins has less pressure than in the arteries.Because the walls of the veins are thinner and less rigid than arteries, veins can hold more blood.apillaries. Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins).
