Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphatic vessels have a similar structure to veins, with thin walls, valves to prevent backflow, and a one-way flow of fluid. Arteries and arterioles have thicker walls to withstand the high pressure of blood flow, while capillaries have a thin, single-layered wall for exchange of nutrients and gases in tissues.
