superior vena cava inferior vena cave
It enters the heart from the head and upper body via the Superior Vena Cave. The blood from the lower body travels through the Inferior Vena Cave.
Deoxygenated blood from the lower body travels through the Inferior Vena cave. Deoxygenated blood from the upper body travels through the Superior Vena Cave. Both vessels empty into the Right Atrium.

superior and inferior vena cave
The superior and inferior vena cave carry blood to the heart.
The inferior vena cave is the largest vein in the body. The vein is formed by two iliac veins and returns blood to the heart.
Yes, the superior vena cave brings blood from the head to the heart, while the inferior vena cava brings blood to the heart from the trunk. So if it "messes up", you may be in big trouble.
The longest vein in the human body would be the saphenous vein.

throught the Superior and Inferior Vena Cave and into the Right Atrium
