Part A: Arteries supply the body's tissues with oxygen, and veins remove carbon dioxide.

Part B: Oxygen-rich blood is found in arteries, while blood that is rich in carbon dioxide is found in veins.

Evidence: Arteries (systemic) carry oxygenated blood to tissues; veins return deoxygenated, CO2-rich blood to the heart and lungs for gas exchange.
