Howthe vessels are adapted to theirfunctions
Explanations
Arteries have thick walls to withstand bloodpressure
high
Arteries have lotsof elastic fibres to recoil
Veins donotneedto withstand a high bloodpressure so havethinnerwall
Arteries have a small lumen to maintain
highbloodptressues.ttfibre
Veins have valves to preventthe backflow blood due to low
