Do arteries carry blood to the heart?

The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. However, most oxygen-rich blood is being carried away from the heart, meaning that most arteries are not carrying blood into the heart at all. Veins are responsible for carrying de-oxygenated blood towards the heart so that their oxygen supply can be replenished in the lungs.The two veins which actually enter the heart are the superior vena cava or the precava which carries blood from the upper half of the body into the heart and the inferior vena cava(IVC), also known as the posterior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower half of the body into the heart.


The pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries are colored blue why?

Because they are also carrying oxygenpoor blood.


Why is it incorrect all arteries carry blood that is high in oxygen?

Because the Pulmonary Artery which carrys blood from the heart to the lungs, is carrying deoxygenated blood.


Veins are located throughout the body and are responsible for carrying blood and oxygen away from the heart while arteries are responsible for carrying blood toward the heart to repeat the cycle?

Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries or veins?

It depends. The blood that is being carried away from to the body is oxygenated blood and the blood that is being carried away from the heart and heading towards the lungs is called deoxgenated blood. OXYGENATED blood has a high percentage of oxygen and deoxygenated blood has a low percentage of oxygen.
