Which statement explains blood pressure?

blood pressure is highest in the veins near the heart.

blood pressure is highest in the arteries near the heart.

blood pressure is highest in the veins farthest away from the heart.

blood pressure is highest in the arteries farthest away from the heart.

The answer is "Blood pressure is highest in the arteries near the heart. I took the test and got a 100.

The correct answer is option B, Blood pressure is highest in the arteries near the heart.

Explanation:

In the arteries, the hydrostatic pressure near the heart is very high while in the case of arterioles the rate of flow reduces (but pressure increase) as the openings of the arterioles become narrow. Thus these two tubules have thick muscular walls. While the veins and venules have lower pressure and thus their walls are also thin and less muscular.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
