Question

Which blood vessels carry blood away from the heart?

Answer 1

The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. The main artery that comes directly from the heart is the aorta, which branches off into smaller arteries that supply blood to various parts of the body. In the case of the pulmonary circulation, the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
