Why are vein, largely, appear more superficially than that of the arteries?

We can see most of the veins next to our naked eyes. Is nearby any scientific explanation for this anatomical position of vein and arteries? any purpose of this arrangement?Why are vein, largely, appear more superficially than that of the arteries?
Well, yes. Arteries work under large pressure, since this the way to bring blood to organs and limb, so it makes sense to own them deeper; while veins own the low pressure, no rush return path that can be put superficially.
In grip of a superficial wound, the blood that is lost is at low pressure (so does not gush out) and since it already did its work on this cycle, having brought oxygen to the cell of the body, there is smaller quantity being lost.
If a artery is cut it is FAR less hazardous than if an artery is cut.
Veins can clot fairly glibly as there is not a large amount of pressure on them, arteries have adjectives the force of the heartbeat pushing them along. Basically they will not clot.
Arteries have more pressure surrounded by them and are able to move the cell structures around them. But by the time the blood go through the capillary system and flows into the veins they loose the push and the pressure go down. So with lower pressure they cannot move the cell structures around them as much as contained by the arteries. The veins cannot compete beside arteries in staying "afloat" so they tend to wager on out of the way. (ok I be guessing but it sounded good.)
vein are typically smaller and lead within rush back to the heart they requirement oxygen and cant be thick because it have less pressure ,again b/c its farther from the heart pump
It also has to do next to the fact that the capillary carry the "dirty blood" which is dark, thus more visible than the oxygenated blood surrounded by the deeper arteries
