Which statement about Veins is NOT true?
-
Muscular tubes lined by skeletal muscle tissue
-
Generally less muscular than arteries
-
Transport blood towards the heart (assisted by non-return values)
-
Smaller branches are called venules
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Veins are not muscular tubes lined by skeletal muscle tissue. They are thin-walled blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. While veins do contain smooth muscle in their walls, they lack the thick layer of skeletal muscle found in arteries.
