Which type of blood vessel usually carries oxygen-rich blood

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Arteries

Explanation:

There are three main types of blood vessels: veins, arteries, and capillaries. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry the oxygenated blood from the heart to various body parts. Veins pick the deoxygenated blood and deliver it to the heart to be oxygenated.

Arteries are the blood vessels with thick walls and no valves. Blood is pumped with higher pressure from the heart into arteries. The pulmonary artery is the only exception that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
