veins
Vessels which carry blood back to the heart from the tissues. Veins are thin walled and will collapse if empty. They have a series of one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards.
leaf veins Vascular tissue in leaves, arranged in a net-like network (reticulate vennation) in dicots, and running parallel (parallel vennation) to each other in monocots.

Leaf veins -- In monocots, there are usually a number of major leaf veins which run parallel the length of the leaf; in dicots, there are usually numerous auxillary veins which reticulate between the major ones.

If you think of a red blood cell going through your veins and arteries and capillaries as a water balloon, ...
Some vessels lead away from the heart (arteries) and some toward the heart (veins). The arteries have thicker walls than the veins. The veins can be distinguished from arteries by the fact that they have valves to prevent back flow of the blood.
Arteries, Capillaries, And Veins
Your arteries carry blood from your heart, out to the rest of your body. They have very thick walls, which allow them to withstand the immense pressure created as your heart pumps blood forcefully.
Each leaf trace further branches into the familiar veins that can often be seen along the surface of leaves, and the veins repeatedly subdivide as well.
skeletonize. To remove leaf tissue between the veins, leaving the network of veins intact.
soil profile. A vertical section of the soil through all its horizontal layers, extending into the parent material.
Capillaries are very small and have thin walls to allow easier passage of compounds including nutrients, glucose, carbon dioxide, and waste products. After the capillaries, your blood passes through venules and veins.
