The vena cavae, which returns blood from the bottom half of your body back to your heart.
The organ that transports blood to the heart is the vena cava, which includes two main veins: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body, while the inferior vena cava transports blood from the lower body. Both veins deliver this blood to the right atrium of the heart for reoxygenation.
Primarily, the superior Vena Cava which generally draws blood from the upper part of the body, the Inferior Vena Cava will draw blood from the lower half. The Aorta will be the main vessel(s) to pump blood OUT of the heart.
Medically speaking, cava is a word component of superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.Of Latin origin; vena means vein, and cava means hollow. Vena cava means hollow vein.
The vena cava is the biggest artery in the body that is attached to the heart, so i would say the cardiovascular system.
