Why is blood transfused directly into the VEINS of a patient?

Dear Student, 

During blood transfusion, blood is taken from the veins and given as well in veins only as they are located superficially and blood flow in veins is slow. It is difficult to obtain blood from arteries as the blood flows at a very high speed and they are located deep inside.

Regards
