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.


Vessels carrying blood to the heart?

There are 2 or 3 methods for blood to return to the heart. The first method is by pressure. Enough pressure is generated in the heart to push the blood through the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, and back into the heart. The right side of the heart only pumps blood into the lungs and back to the heart and requires less pressure than the left side that pumps to the rest of the body, although the volume must be identical for the two halves. The second method is a pumping method by muscle contraction. This is especially true of the calf muscles in the leg pumping the blood back to the heart. A third method would be gravity for anything above the heart, including the head, or any limb that was elevated. Elevation can be used to decrease pressure and help reduce swelling.


What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?

Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
