These vessels carry blood to the heart.
- Arteries
- Veins
Correct Answer

A. Veins

Explanation

Veins carry blood back to the heart. After the oxygenated blood is delivered to the body's tissues by arteries, the veins collect the deoxygenated blood and transport it back to the heart. Unlike arteries, veins have valves that prevent the backflow of blood and help in maintaining the flow towards the heart. Therefore, veins are responsible for returning blood to the heart for oxygenation and circulation throughout the body.

Rate this question:
10.

These vessels carry blood from the heart.
- Arteries
- Veins
Correct Answer

A. Arteries

Explanation

Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick, elastic walls that help to withstand the high pressure of blood being pumped out of the heart. Veins, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Therefore, arteries are the correct answer because they specifically carry blood from the heart.

Rate this question:
11.

Blood traveling through these vessels is low in oxygen.
- Arteries
- Veins
Correct Answer

A. Veins

Explanation

Veins carry blood back to the heart from various parts of the body. Unlike arteries, veins contain blood that is low in oxygen. After oxygen is delivered to the body's tissues through the arteries, the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins. This blood is then pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen again. Therefore, the statement "Blood traveling through these vessels is low in oxygen" accurately describes veins.
