Answer: Blood pressure is highest in the arteries near the heart.

Explanation: In the arteries, the hydrostatic pressure near the heart is very high while in the case of arterioles the rate of flow reduces (but pressure increases) as the openings of the arterioles become narrow. Thus these two tubules have thick muscular walls. While the veins and venules have lower pressure and thus their walls are also thin and less muscular.

Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is given in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). It has two numbers.
