The blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body is the aorta. It is the largest artery in the body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart. The aorta branches into smaller arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to various organs and tissues throughout the body.
The umbilical vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the placenta to the fetus, making it the fetal blood vessel with the highest oxygen concentration.
