Term
1.) What are the Characterstics that are used to distinguish between an artery and vein?
Definition
Arteries: have a thick muscular wall,
elasticity. No valves.  Can recoil. 
Passive change of diameter.
Take blood FROM the heart.  They are able to tolerate a pressure change and maintain blood flow.

Veins:  have thinner walls, contain valves.  return blood TO the heart.  Have an interna that permits one way direction of blood flow because of the venous pressure that is less than the force of gravity.
