What is the function of the cena cava
1 answer
The vena cava (cena cava is not a recognized term) is a major vein in the body that carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. There are two main veins called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava receives blood from the upper body, including the head, neck, and upper limbs, while the inferior vena cava receives blood from the lower body, including the abdomen and lower limbs. The function of the vena cava is to return deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart, where it gets pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated again.
