Which of the following statement is correct? I. Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart to various organs of the body Il. Veins collect the blood from different organs and bring it back to the heart. Correct Answer Both I and II

‌Arteries and veins (also called blood vessels) are tubes of muscle that your blood flows through.

‌Arteries:

  • The arteries are the blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body.
  • The pulmonary arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from the right side of the heart through to the capillaries of the lungs.
  • The blood that is carried is, unlike other arteries, without oxygen ("deoxygenated").

Veins:

  • Veins are blood vessels in humans, and most other animals that carry blood towards the heart from different organs.
  • Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
  • Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Veins push blood back to your heart.
