Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood to the heart.
The vena cava (a vein) carries blood to the right atrium, and the pulmonic vein carries blood to the left atrium.
If you are talking about the coronary arteries that feed the muscle of the heart, they go to the myocardium.
What else can I help you with?
Arterioles carry blood to the heart not away from the heart?
Arteries and Arterioles carry oxygenated blood AWAY from the heart TO the body.
What send blood from the heart throughout the body?
The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body through the arteries. These blood vessels branch out into smaller vessels called arterioles and then capillaries, where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins to be reoxygenated.
What type of vessel does a capillary receive blood?
Capillaries send blood to both arteries and veins.
Do arteries carry blood from capillaries to the heart?
Arterioles carry blood in the direction away from the heart. The order of vessels from the heart is: arteries>arterioles>capillaries>venules>veins.
How does the heart get oxygen blood to the body?
The heart distributed oxygenated blood to the body with the help of Arteries and Arterioles.
Site where resistance to blood flow is greatest?
Veins hold the greatest volume of blood in the body--------and the heart along with the nerve glands in your throat.....
What large veins are directly responsible for returning blood to the heart?
The veins responsible for returning blood to the heart are the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava. Arteries send blood away from the heart, going from Arteries to Arterioles to Capillaries, then the return is from Capillaries to Venules to Veins. The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava are the veins that send blood to the right atrium after an entire blood circulation cycle.
Does capilliries carry blood away from the heart?
No arteries do, these then lead into arterioles and into capilliaries.
Which system does arterioles belong to?
Arterioles belong to the circulatory system, which is responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various tissues and organs in the body. Arterioles are small blood vessels that branch out from arteries and help regulate blood flow and blood pressure by constricting or dilating.
What carries carry oxygen rich blood from the heart to the body?
Arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
How do you distinguish between arterioles and venules?
Arterioles are small blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the capillaries, while venules are small blood vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from the capillaries and carry it back to the heart. Arterioles typically have thicker walls and are more muscular than venules to help regulate blood flow and pressure, while venules have thinner walls and lower pressure.
Blood moves through blood vessels in which order?
Heart (Left Ventricle) -> Arteries -> Arterioles -> Capillaries -> Venules -> Veins -> Heart (Right Atrium)
