What tubes connected to the heart?
The following tubes are connected to the heart:
1. Arteries: Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
2. Veins: Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the rest of the body.
3. Capillaries: Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries to veins. They allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the body's tissues.
4. Pulmonary arteries: Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
5. Pulmonary veins: Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
6. Superior vena cava: The superior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart.
7. Inferior vena cava: The inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.
8. Coronary arteries: Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
