Answer #1

ANSWER :

The arteries, veins and capillaries, all are blood vessels but they have slightly different anatomical structure & respective functions. However, all of them perform the similar function of conducting of blood throughout body, arteries flow oxygenated blood from heart to the remaining blood vessels (except pulmonary artery) and have thickest tunica media layer.

Almost veins conduct deoxygenated blood from body organs to the heart excepting only pulmonary vein and they have less thicker vascular wall (tunica media). The capillaries are thinnest blood vessels made of mostly one or two layers thick vascular wall but specifically perform the function of nutrients & gaseous exchange between the body tissues & blood.
