Blood vessels
Blood vessels circulate blood throughout your body. They help deliver oxygen to vital organs and tissues, and also remove waste products. Blood vessels include veins, arteries and capillaries.
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
All the arteries except the one that carries blood from the heart to the lungs carry oxygenated blood.
‘Pulmonary artery’ is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart.
