Which statement does not accurately describe veins? (a) have less elastic tissue and smooth muscle than arteries, (b) contain more fibrous tissue than arteries, (c) most veins in the extremities have valves, (d) always carry deoxygenated blood.
Which of the following is true regarding arteries and veins? (A) $\quad$ Arteries are thin-walled, muscular, and elastic, whereas veins are thick-walled and inelastic. (B) $\quad$ Arteries always conduct oxygenated blood, whereas veins always carry deoxygenated blood. (C) $\quad$ The blood pressure in the aorta is always higher than the pressure in the superior vena cava. (D) $\quad$ Arteries facilitate blood transport by using skeletal muscle contractions, whereas veins make use of the pumping of the heart to push blood.
