a.Veins have thicker muscular walls than arteries
b.Veins carry blood away from the heart
c.Veins have one-way valves and thinner walls, so they collapse easily under strong vacuum
d.Veins pulsate under the fingertip
Giải thích
Veins have thin walls and one-way valves that keep blood moving toward the heart, which is why a large vacuum tube or aggressive suction can collapse them and why needles are inserted pointing toward the heart away from valves. Arteries, not veins, have thick muscular walls and a palpable pulse. Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins return it.
