Question

Which blood vessels carry blood from different parts of your body to the heart?
A) Capillaries
B) Arteries
C) Veins
D) All of the above

Answer 1

In order to carry blood, blood vessels function. In addition, oxygenated blood is transported from the lungs to the body as well as its organs by arteries and arterioles, and deoxygenated blood is transported from the body to lungs by veins and venules.

Complete answer:
First we should know about the blood vessels to answer this question. Blood vessels are the branches of the circulatory system that carry blood in the human body. Blood cells, food, and oxygen are transported to the body's tissues by these vessels. They also pull waste from the tissues and carbon dioxide out. To support life, blood vessels are required because all the tissues of the body depend on their functionality.
Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- Arteries bring blood rich in oxygen away from the heart to most of the tissues of the body. When they take blood further from the heart and into muscles, they branch into narrower and smaller arteries
- Capillaries are narrow blood vessels that link the veins and arteries. Oxygen, food, carbon dioxide, as well as other waste can travel to and from cells through their thin walls.
- Veins are vessels of the blood that bring blood to the heart. When they get nearer to the heart, they get bigger. The superior vena cava is often a large vein that carries blood into the heart from the arms and head, and the inferior vena cava carries blood into the heart from the legs and abdomen.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D) All of the above.

Note: There are 3 layers of the arteries and veins. In the arteries, the middle layer is thicker than those in the veins. Tunica intima is the inner layer, tunica media is the middle layer and the outer layer is tunica adventitia.
