    A blood vessel that returns blood to the heart

    • Artery

    • Capillary

    • Atrium

    • Vein

    Correct Answer
    A. Vein
    Explanation
    A vein is a blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Unlike arteries, veins have thinner walls and contain valves to prevent blood from flowing backward. The deoxygenated blood from various parts of the body is collected by veins and transported back to the heart, where it will be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. Veins are an essential part of the circulatory system and play a crucial role in maintaining blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body.

    • Vein

    • Artery

    • Left ventricle

    • Right ventricle

    Correct Answer
    A. Artery
    Explanation
    An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. It is responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to various parts of the body. Arteries have thick, elastic walls that help withstand the high pressure generated by the heart's pumping action. The blood flowing through arteries is typically bright red in color, indicating its oxygenation. Unlike veins, which carry blood back to the heart, arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to nourish tissues and organs throughout the body.

    Correct Answer
    capillary
    Capillary
    Explanation
    A capillary is a tiny blood vessel that connects arteries and veins. It is responsible for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. Capillaries have thin walls, allowing for efficient diffusion of substances. They are essential for the proper functioning of various organs and tissues in the body.
