veins transmit deoxygenised blood toward the heart (except for pulmonary veins), while nerves transmit electrical impulses from the brain to sensory organs, or vice versa.
simple as that! peace.

Veins is any of the tubes connecting blood to the heart while nerves is a fibre or bundle of fires that transmit impuleses of sensation or motion between the brain or spinal cord and other part of the body.

I think he is talking about an autopsy setting in med school or during anatomy class dissection. The tip i was given and that helped me a lot is to feel them with my fingers, gently of course so as not to ruin the specimen. Arteries are thick and muscular, veins are thin-walled and of a wide caliber, nerves feel like chords and are not hollow. With time you will be able to tell the difference without touching it. But i saw this trick used in surgery as well. it works almost all the time.

It is not the same at all
Veins are vessals which transports the deoxygenated blood from the organs to the heart. In physiology, they are part of circulatory organs
Nerves are part of cognition or nervous) system. They transmits the order of the brain to organs such as limbs , eye , &

Veins carry dirty blood from the body to the heart. Nerves are bundles of fiber that carry "electrical" pulses to/from brain to the Central Nervous System - they are responsible for sensory/feeling and sending information throughout your body .

There are two kinds of blood vessels in human body: One is artery which carries oxygenated blood away from heart to the body & the other one is vein which carries deoxygenated blood from body to lungs.
Nerves composed of neurons carry impulses(eletrochemical in nature) within the body

Veins deliver blood to different parts of your body so that part can function,nerves are electrical transmitters for your brain.

veins transport blood and mainly works for the heart, but nerves transport electric impulses and work for the brain. both are very cute and essential in the human body. they both work for the two major things in the human body.

Veins are hollow with blood in them and nerves are like branches of electricity. They are not hollow
