question 10 (2 points) listen which of the following correctly matches a blood vessel to its physical characteristics? veins: muscular walls, tiny diameter, have valves arteries: large diameter, muscular walls, have valves veins: thick walls, tiny diameter, no valves capillaries: thin walls, tiny diameter, no valves arteries: tiny diameter, muscular walls, no valves
Capillaries have thin walls for gas - exchange, a tiny diameter to fit between cells, and no valves. Veins have thin walls (compared to arteries), larger diameters than capillaries, and valves to prevent back - flow of blood. Arteries have thick, muscular walls to withstand high blood pressure, larger diameters than capillaries, and no valves.
