Question

Which of the following vessels carries blood away from the heart to various organs of the body, except the lungs?

• A. Pulmonary artery
• B. Pulmonary vein
• C. Vena cava
• D. Aorta

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Aorta

• The correct answer is 4.

• Aorta, as it's the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, excluding the lungs which receive blood from the pulmonary artery.

• The aorta is a large, cane-shaped vessel that delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body.

• It starts in the lower-left part of the heart and passes through the chest and abdomen.

• Along the way, blood vessels branch off the aorta, extending to organs and supporting tissue
