Accepted Answer

The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs where it will receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The carotid sinuses are located in the neck and are responsible for helping regulate blood pressure. The coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart itself. The superior and inferior vena cavae carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart. The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body.
