Blood vessels which carry deoxygenated blood are called__________?
Correct answer: B. Veins
- A. Arteries
- B. Veins
- C. Capillaries
- D. None of these
Explanation
Veins generally carry blood toward the heart and commonly transport deoxygenated blood from body tissues. Students may choose arteries because they often associate them with oxygen-rich blood, but the defining difference is direction of flow, since the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.

About Blood Vessels
Blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins, whose wall thickness, elasticity, lumen size and valves suit their roles in circulation. Questions compare pressure and blood flow in each vessel and distinguish pulmonary vessels, which carry blood to and from the lungs, from systemic vessels.
