The vena cava brings deoxygenated blood (blood whose oxygen has been used by the body) back to the heart. The vena cava empties into the right atrium. The inferior vena cava (IVC) comes from below the heart, the superior vena cava (SVC) comes from above the heart.

What is the Major artery that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart is the?
pulmonary artery
What are two major blood vessels that contain oxygen-rich blood?
The two major blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood are the pulmonary vein (carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart) and the aorta (carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body).
What type of blood travels from the lungs to the heart?
Blood receives oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as it passes through the lungs (within the blood vessels), therefore it would be oxygenated blood traveling from the lungs into the heart, and through the heart and going out to all major organs, the brain, and to the limbs.
How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?
The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
Which blood vessels carry blood blood away from the heart?
the arteries.Vessels that carry blood away from the heart are referred to as arteries. (For study purpose, remember *A*rtery = *A*way. They both start with A) Specifically, there are two main vessels that carry blood directly away from the heart. The aorta is the major vessel that takes oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body. The pulmonary arteries take deoxygenated blood ("blue" blood") away from the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated then returned to be pumped out the aorta.
What is the major vein that carries blood from the head to the heart?
what is the major artery and vein that deliver and drain blood to and from the head along the spinal cord?
Which vessel carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body tissues?
The large artery connected to the heart, called the Aorta.
What are the two major pathways of the vascular system?
The two major pathways of the vascular system are the systemic circulation, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues and organs, and the pulmonary circulation, which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
What carry blood away from the heart'?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
What is the major difference between the right heart and the left heart?
The major difference between the right heart and the left heart is their function and blood flow direction. The right heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs for oxygenation, while the left heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
The circuit that connects the heart and lungs?
Blood vessels. Arteries and arterioles direct oxygenated blood to the kidneys as well as your other major organs and musculature. Then veins and venuoles push deoxygenated blood back to your heart. Oxygenated Blood leaves your Left ventricle of your heart and enters the aorta which branches into three segments, I believe it is the subcostal descending aorta which feeds the kidnesys.
Where is the interventricular septum located?
The interventricular septum is located between the two ventricles of the heart, separating the left and right sides. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood do not mix within the heart chambers.
