blood. It is a blood vessel but more specifically a vein. Note there are two: superior vena cava (from upper part of body) & inferior vena cava (coming from lower part of body). They carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart's right atrium then on to the lungs via the pulmonary artery to exchange carbon dioxide for fresh oxygen.
