Question

Which of the following blood vessels can withstand the highest blood pressure?
A) Artery
B) Venule
C) Capillary
D) Arteriole

Accepted Answer

Arteries are the blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. They have thick and elastic walls that can withstand high blood pressure while maintaining the blood flow. In comparison, the other blood vessels like venules, capillaries, and arterioles have thinner walls and are not designed to bear high blood pressure.
