Question

the ______ carry blood toward the lungs. multiple choice aorta and pulmonary arteries pulmonary trunk and veins pulmonary trunk and arteries pulmonary arteries and veins superior and inferior venae cavae

Explanation:

The pulmonary trunk and arteries are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart towards the lungs. The aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, so the first option is incorrect. Veins carry blood back to the heart, so options with veins (second and fourth) are wrong. The superior and inferior venae cavae bring deoxygenated blood to the right atrium, not to the lungs.

Answer:

pulmonary trunk and arteries
