The main blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the vital organs, including the brain, are called ARTERIES; those that carry deoxygenated blood away from the vital organs and to the lungs (to be replenished with oxygen) are called VEINS.

The biggest artery in the human body is the AORTA, a central pipeline that runs vertically up through the body to the brain.
