What are 3 differences between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery. Veins carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein. Arteries have thick elastic muscular walls. Veins have thin non elastic less muscular walls.
Which blood is carried by arteries and veins?
The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body’s tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Arteries begin with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart. They carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body’s tissues.

How do you tell if an IV is in an artery?
Specific signs of IA cannulation include pulsatile movement of blood in the IV line, intense pain or burning at the site of injection, blood that is bright-red in appearance and cannulation in an area where an artery is in close proximity to a vein.
What is the difference between injecting into an artery and a vein?
The Difference between Injecting into an Artery and into a Vein. The main difference between an artery and a vein is that arteries move blood away from the heart and veins move blood toward the heart. When someone injects drugs into a vein, it is carried through the heart and diluted in the blood before reaching a person’s extremities and tissues.
What are the similarities and differences between arteries and veins?
1. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body. Veins carry blood from the tissues of the body back to the heart. 2. Arteries carry oxygenated blood expect pulmonary artery. Veins carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein. 3. Arteries have thick elastic muscular walls.
Which blood vessels carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
Veins carry blood from the tissues of the body back to the heart. 2. Blood Type. Arteries carry oxygenated blood expect pulmonary artery. Veins carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein.
What is in-injection drug abuse?
Injection drug abuse is a particularly dangerous method of taking drugs. This sends drugs directly into the bloodstream and straight across the barrier between the blood and the brain for a rapid and almost instantaneous “high.”
