Question

Name the following.

(b) An artery which carries deoxygenated blood and a vein which carries oxygenated blood.

Answer 1

Arteries:

1. These are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
2. All arteries except the pulmonary artery carry oxygenated blood.

Veins

1. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart.
2. All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.
