Aorta - carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart.

The aorta contributes to the stability of blood flow by pumping oxygenated blood through the left ventricle.

Pulmonary artery - transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

The pulmonary artery originates from the right ventricle, it forks into the right and left pulmonary arteries.

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

Coronary artery - branches from aorta and provide oxygen to heart muscles.

It also divides into left and right coronary arteries, where each carries oxygenated blood to different regions of the heart.
