Veins
The "type" of blood vessel is an artery.The largest, an elastic one connected to the heart, is the aorta.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood into the heart.
Veins are the blood vessel type that conveys blood from the systemic circulation back to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood, except for the pulmonary veins, which transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Veins have thinner walls and larger lumens than arteries, allowing them to accommodate varying volumes of blood. Valves within veins help prevent the backflow of blood as it moves toward the heart.
An artery is a type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while a blood vessel is a general term for any tube-like structure that transports blood throughout the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries.
The main vessel that transports blood away from the heart and towards the body is the aorta. The other vessel is the pulmonary trunk. It transports blood away from the heart and towards the lungs.
