What is the function of most arteries in the body?
to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body
Which does not carry oxygenated blood?
All arteries (the red blood vessels) carry oxygenated blood. it's the viens (the blue blood vessels) that don't carry oxygenated blood. However the Pulmonary artery carries Deoxygenated blood to the lungs to be reoxygenated, as it carries blood away from the heart it is called a Artery.
Veins are blood vessels that?
Veins are blood vessels that carry de-oxygenated blood except pulmonary vein.
What are the main kinds of blood vessels and what function do they perform?
The main kind of blood vessels are Veins,Arteries, and Capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to other organs. Veins carry blood with carbon dioxide back to the heart. Capillaries connect Veins and Arteries and let oxygen out to the organs and carbon dioxide in to the veins.

These thick-walled blood vessels carry oxygenated blood to the cells in your body?
A
What blood vessels carry oxygenated blood toward the heart?
Pulmonary vein
These thick-walled blood vessels carry oxygenated blood to cells in your body?
A
Do veins and ateries carry oxygenated blood?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body tissues and organs. Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart and lungs where it becomes oxygenated again.
What blood vessels carry blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood.
What are the tiny blood vessels that carry blood to the organs?
Capillaries.
What are the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart?
arteries, except for the pulmonary veins which carry unoxygenated blood to the lungs to be re oxygenated.
