There are twenty main arteries, unfortunately. Some are:
- Carotid artery: runs up both sides of the neck and is the artery felt when taking a pulse from the neck, delivers blood to the brain.
- Femoral: runs through the middle of the thigh on both legs, delivers blood to the lower extremities above the elbow.
- Brachial: runs from the anterior of the shoulder to the elbow, delivers blood to the upper extremities.
- Radial and Ulnar: stems off of the brachial and goes around the radius and ulna respectively, feeds blood to the flangies and lower extremites below the elbow.

Name the large veins and arteries that carry blood to and from the kidney?
The Renal vein/arteryRenal Arteries (to) and Renal Veins (from)
What are the blood tube called?
The tubes that carry blood are the blood vessels. They include capillaries, veins, and arteries.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart except which artery?
The pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lung to be reoxygenated. The pulmonary vein then carries oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart to be pumped back to the rest of the body.
Where does the name pulmonary artery come from and named an artery if it is not oxiginated blood?
Whether they have oxygen or not, all arteries carry blood away from the heart. And, since the pulmonary arteries carry blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, it is appropriately called an artery. Any blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart is called a vein. So that is why the oxygenated blood from the lungs uses the pulmonary veins to carry it to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the name of the vessel that brings blood to the heart?
The vessels that bring blood back to the heart are called the veins.The vessel that brings blood back to the heart is the vein. The major blood vessels include the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary veins.---- == == VeinBlue blood...veins are the blood vessels that carry the oxygen-poor or blue blood from the body towards the heart.
What is the name of the organ that receives blood from the veins and sends it into the arteries?
The heart is the organ that receives blood from the veins and pumps it into the arteries.
Name the 3 type of blood vessels in the body?
The 3 types of blood vessels are: 1. veins, which carry blood to the heart; 2. capillaries, which connect veins and arteries, and 3. arteries, which carry blood away from the heart.
What is the name of the organ that receives blood from the veins and send into the arteries?
heart
What is the name of the organ that receives the blood from the veins and sends it into the arteries?
That is the Heart.
What is the name of the blood vessels which carry blood to their heart?
They are called veins. Arteries carry blood from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart.
Name the blood vessels that carries blood is it the veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood towards the heart.
Which artery is the exception to the rule that veins carry deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle to travel to the heart, so carry deunoxygenated blood. The name "arteries" is used because the vessels are leaving the heart.The pulmonary veins, conversely, are coming back into the heart, so are veins, but they are carrying oxygenated blood.
Name the blood vessels of the body?
There are four main types of blood vessels in the human body. There are arteries which are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Then there are veins which are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Next, there are capillaries which are extremely small vessels found within the body tissues that transport blood from the arteries to the veins. And last, there are the sinusoids which are extremely small vessels found in the liver, the spleen, and in bone marrow.
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
What are the name of the vessels?
Seriously? Arteries and veins.

What are the name of our blood vessels?
ARTERIESArteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. All arteries, with the exception of the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, carry oxygenated blood. Aorta is the largest artery. Arises from heart.CAPILLARIESCapillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels and are part of the microcirculation. They are only 1 cell thick. These micro vessels, measuring 5-10 cm in diameter, connect arterioles and vernicles, and enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.VEINSIn the circulatory system, veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood. They differ from arteries in structure and function. for example, arteries are more muscular than veins and they carry blood away from the heart.
