Vedclass · Answer

(C) The primary structural difference between veins and arteries is the presence of valves in veins. Veins carry blood towards the heart under low pressure. Because of this low pressure and the influence of gravity,veins contain valves that prevent the backflow of blood,ensuring it flows in only one direction. Arteries,on the other hand,carry blood away from the heart under high pressure,which is why they do not require valves.
