Question

Deoxygenated blood is carried by
I. Pulmonary veins
II. Anterior vena cava
III. Pulmonary arteries

• A. I only
• B. II only
• C. III only
• D. I and II
• E. II and III

Answer 1

The correct option is E II and III

Superior vena cava also known as anterior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart's right atrium.

The pulmonary artery is the only artery in the human body which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that lungs can purify the blood.

Pulmonary veins are the only vein in the human body which carries oxygenated blood from lungs back to the left atrium of the heart which is then passed to the whole body by aorta. Hence option E is correct.
