Explanation:

Answer 2

Arteries and veins are two of the body's main types of blood vessels. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood that is low in oxygen from the body back to the heart for reoxygenation. Both arteries and veins are types of blood vessels in the cardiovascular system. An artery carries blood away from the heart, and a vein carries blood back to the heart.
