Here's the answer to your question, Notorious.

5c)
Here are the distinctions between arteries and veins:

  • Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick, muscular, and elastic walls to withstand high blood pressure and maintain blood flow. They generally carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery). Arteries do not have valves (except at the exit from the heart).
  • Veins carry blood towards the heart from the body. They have thinner, less muscular, and less elastic walls because the blood pressure is much lower. They generally carry deoxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary vein). Veins contain valves to prevent the backflow of blood, especially in the limbs, as blood flows against gravity.
