A thrombus (blood clot) is more likely to form in an artery than in a vein because of the greater blood flow through the artery.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thrombus is more likely to form in a vein than in an artery because the blood flow in veins is slower and more prone to pooling, which can lead to the formation of blood clots. Arteries have faster blood flow and their walls are thicker and more elastic, making them less susceptible to blood clot formation.
