How can i distinguish between arteries, veins and nerves in a cadaver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look closely: Arteries and veins tend to run together except in lung, liver and brain, and arteries have thicker walls than the corresponding veins. Nerves are less elastic and don't have have the hole down the middle.
