Differentiate a vein from an artery?
Arteries always carry blood to an organ/area, conversely veins always carry blood away. Interestingly Arteries can be thought to carry blood rich in oxygen, whereas veins carry oxygen depleted blood. When I was younger I remembered this as (Artery = Air), it's crude but it worked. There are 2 major vessels however that are the exception to this rule. The Pulmonary Artery, which carries oxygen depleted blood from the heart to the lungs. and the Pulmonary Vein which carries oxygen rich blood back to the heart. Happy Pumping
