_______ Carry Blood from the Ventricles of the Heart to Each

Question

_______ carry blood from the ventricles of the heart to each of the organs of the body.
A) Arteries
B) Veins
C) Venules
D) Capillaries

Accepted Answer

Arteries carry blood away from the heart and distribute it to the organs and tissues throughout the body. They are thick-walled and elastic, allowing them to withstand the pressure created by the pumping action of the heart. Veins, on the other hand, carry blood back to the heart, while venules and capillaries are smaller blood vessels that connect arteries and veins and play a role in the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the blood and tissues.
