How does blood pressure change in arteries?

Blood moves faster in arteries than in veins. Accordingly, the pressure in the arteries is higher. All due to the fact that arterial blood flows from the heart. Venous blood is directed to the heart under arterial blood pressure. Damage to an artery is much more dangerous than damage to a vein. Arterial blood is very difficult to stop. Often, if damaged, doctors suture large arteries by stopping the blood flow to a certain part of the body with a tourniquet. That arteries are hidden deeper than veins, so it is more difficult to damage them.
