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 artery in the upper arm is known as the what artery?
brachial
What artery in the arm is used to take blood pressure?
the artery in the axilla i.e:the axillary artery when crosses the teres major muscle enters the arm and becomes the brachial artery(brachum means arm). then in the cubital fossa (across the elbow joint) it divides into ulnar and radial artery which run in the fore arm.

What is the major artery of the left arm?
This comes from my A&P lab manual... "In the armpit, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery, which serves the upper limb." The previous answer was "brachial," which could also be a correct answer. "The brachial artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which follow the same-named bones to supply the forearm and hand."
What artery in the arm is standard systemic artery in which blood pressure is measured?
Brachial Artery
What is the large artery running of the medial side of the arm which represents the principal arterial supply to the arm?
Brachial artery
Which pressure point artery is related to the arm?
To stop severe bleeding of the arm, press on the brachial artery, which is located on the inside of the upper arm.
Which vessel supplies the lower arm?
the radial artery and the ulnar artery.
What arteries supply the arm?
The subclavian passes below the clavicle, becoming the axillary artery. The axillary artery gives rise to the brachial artery. The brachial is the largest artery in the arm, and spits into three major branches the profunda brachii in the arm , and the radial and ulna arteries in the forearms. Other arteries include the interosseous, circumflex, and humeral nutrient arteries.
