Oxygen-rich blood is carried in the blood vessels known as arteries. The primary artery that transports oxygenated blood away from the heart is the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries that supply various tissues and organs throughout the body. In contrast, veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
