The superior vena cava is a large, yet short vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart's right atrium. The inferior vena cava (or IVC) is the large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.
The superior vena cava has no valve at its termination, however the inferior vena cava has a valve (the Eustachian valve) at its termination, which is used during the fetal stage to block the right ventricle (it gradually loses its function after birth).

The inferior vena cava is the widest vein in the body
yes it is. It has the lowest blood pressure in the entire systemic circulation.
Superior and inferior vena cava are veins that carry blood to the heart. Note that this blood is usually deoxygenated blood. ( does not contain any oxygen)
They are both large veins that carry deoxygenated blood from a part of the body.
The inferior and superior vena cavas bring blood from the body to the right side of the heart. The pulmonary veins bring blopd from the lungs to the left side of the heart.
Deoxygenated blood return form the body to the heart via the Superior and Inferior Vena Cavas, which join together to enter the Heart's Right Atrium.
It recieves deoxygenated blood from the Superior and Inferior Vena cavas.
It recieves deoxygenated blood from the Superior and Inferior Vena cavas.
The heart
Superior vena cava carries blood from the head and arms to the right atrium Inferior vena cava carries blood from the trunk and legs to the right atrium
Arteries transport blood away from the heart. The superior and inferior vena cavas return blood to the right right atrium.
The blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are called veins.(Blood does not return to the heart until it passes through the spleen, where dead blood cells go.)
The blood enters through the superior and inferior vena cava.
blood first enters the heart through the right atrium.
The superior vena cava can take in blood from the top of your body and the inferior vena cava can take in blood from the lungs and lower parts of your body.
Veins carry deoxygenated blood back the heart.
