A blood vessel that is thin-walled, non-elastic, carries blood toward the heart and contains internal valves is best identified as which of the following?
AA vein
BA capillary
CAn artery
DAn arteriole
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A vein
1. The clues are thin, non-elastic walls, blood flowing toward the heart, and internal valves.
2. Arteries are thick, elastic and lack internal valves, so option C is wrong.
3. Capillaries and arterioles are tiny vessels without internal valves, ruling out options B and D.
4. A thin, valved vessel returning blood to the heart is a vein, option A.
