Arteries, becuase they are directly pumped by the heart while veins are pumped some by your heart and some by muscle movement.
Arteries have thicker walls as well to cope with the greater pressure.

∙ 13y agoANSWER:
The arteries carry pure blood to the different tissues and organs of the body so it is propelled by the heart with greater velocity so that way pure blood is readily available. The veins carry the impure blood in the body so they are carried with less velocity by the blood capillaries .
ANSWER 2:
Actually, it's because veins are further away from the heart
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe pressure in the arteries is much more than in the capillaries because the arteries are pumping the blood from the heart, so it needs more pressure for the blood to get to the different body parts.

∙ 11y agoThe heart pumps the blood through the arteries . There fore the pressure is high . Veins bring back the blood to the heart , but there is nothing pumping the blood . Therefore the pressure is low . You may ask why does the blood moves in the veins at all ? Thats because the blood coming from the arteries forces it to . So its like this : Heart pumps -> artery (hight pressure) -> organ (kidney , liver ..what evs) -> to the vein -> heart -> lungs -> heart :REPEAT:

What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Does pressure drop when blood moves from arteries to veins?
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
What is the vessel that takes blood from the arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles take blood from the arteries to the capillaries. Venules take blood from the capillaries to the veins.
These carry blood from the heart to the capillaries?
The arteries transport blood to the capillaries.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
What is the pressure when the blood leaves the small arteries and enters the Capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Does pressure drop when blood moves from arteries to veins?
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
Blood pressure is higher in veins than arteries?
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
What has a higher blood pressure the aorta or vena cava?
The arterial system generally has a higher pressure than the venous system, so the answer is the aorta. Pressure is lost when the arteries split into capillaries, which have leaky walls.
Does the blood enter either arteries capillaries or veins at high pressure?
arteries, as the arteries take blood away from the heart, and to carry the blood all the way around the body the blood needs to be travelling at a high pressure.
Where do capillaries get blood from?
Arteries go to arterioles, then the capillaries Arteries
What is the vessel that takes blood from the arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles take blood from the arteries to the capillaries. Venules take blood from the capillaries to the veins.
Why do arteries have more smooth muscle than veins?
arteries experience higher blood pressure.. apex huh?
Does your blood flow at a higher pressure in the veins than in the arteries?
No, its higher in the arteries due to the pressure of the heart beating.
What are the kinds of blood vessels?
Capillaries, arteries, and veins are the kinds of blood vessels.
