4. 01 Anatomy of Veins

5. Veins form a vital part of the circulatory system, responsible for returning deoxygenated blood to the heart. ● These thin-walled vessels operate at lower pressure than arteries, consisting of tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa layers. ● One-way valves in veins prevent backward blood flow, facilitating the upward movement against gravity. ● Veins transport blood from capillaries back to the heart, ensuring continuous circulation. ● With a larger capacity than arteries, veins accommodate a higher volume of blood. ●
