Solution

Dear Student,

Arteries Vein Capillary

Arteries carry oxygen rich blood from heart to all the parts of body except pulmonary artery that carries deoxygenated blood to lungs. Vein takes carbon dioxide rich blood from all parts of the body back to the heart except pulmonary vein that brings oxygen rich blood from lungs. Capillaries are very thin blood vessels and they connect arteries and veins. They supply blood to the tissues.
