What has higher blood pressure a vein or artery?
Arteries carry blood full of oxygen from the heart to your body’s organs. Veins carry the blood back to the heart after the oxygen in the blood has been depleated by your body’s organs. Since arteries are closer to the outlet of the heart, they also have a higher blood pressure than veins. It is also interesting to note that arteries tend to be closer to the core of your body, whereas veins tend to be closer to the outside surface of your body.
