vessels that carry oxygenated blood are called arteries
the largest is the aorta witch is connected to your heart
carotid witch is in your neck
brachial witch is in your upper arm
femoral artery witch runs down the groin and thigh
radial artery witch is in your wrist
there is one more down in your foot that i cant remember the name of but those are all the major ones
The blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrient-containing blood away from the heart is an artery. Arteries have thick, muscular walls to withstand the high pressure of blood being pumped from the heart.
The vessel that carries blood between arterioles and small vessels is called capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body where the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products occurs between the blood and tissues.
In the umbilical cord you have one vein and two arteries. This vein goes to the liver of foetus. This blood vessel contains most oxygen and food in case of foetus. After birth this vessel gets obliterated to form the falciform ligament.
Systemic veins, not to be confused with pulmonary veins, carry oxygen poor blood back to the heart.
The myocardium receives blood from the coronary arteries.
Coronary Arteries
The myocardium or heart muscle is nourished with oxygen-rich blood. The vessel that delivers the blood to the myocardium is called Coronary Arteries.
pulmonary vein
Coronary Arteries supply the muscle of the Heart (Myocardium) with Oygenated blood. (Coronary Veins carry the deoxygenated blood away from the Heart Muscle.)
pulmonary artery
The umbilical vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the placenta to the fetus, making it the fetal blood vessel with the highest oxygen concentration.
pulmonary vein
artery
The pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
Capillaries
Yes, an artery is a type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
The blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrient-containing blood away from the heart is an artery. Arteries have thick, muscular walls to withstand the high pressure of blood being pumped from the heart.
