Answer 2

Answer:

Pulmonary Artery - transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs

Aorta - Carries oxygen rich blood away rfom the heart

Inferior vena cava - carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart

Coronary artery - branches from the aorta and provides oxygen to the heart muscles

Explanation:

Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart. It is also the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. When the blood enters the lungs it picks up oxygen and goes back to the heart via the pulmonary vein.

The aorta is the biggest artery in the body. As the left ventricle pumps blood upwards, it goes through the aorta and is then distributed to the other parts of the body.

The inferior vena cava delivers deoxygenated blood from the lower limbs of the body, while the superior vena cava delivers from upper limbs and head of the body. The blood empties into the right atrium of the heart.

Coronary artery provides the heart its blood supply. There are two main coronary arteries, the left and the right coronary artery which branch out even further into smaller arteries.
