Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Anastomoses are more common in veins than in arteries. Often, an artery travels with a corresponding vein. These vessels are called companion vessels because they supply the same body region and tend to lie next to one another. Both artery and vein walls have three layers, called tunics.
