Question

lo 3.3. what do arteries carry away from the heart?
nutrients
carbon dioxide
hormones
deoxygenated blood
oxygenated blood

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery is an exception as it carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. However, in general, most arteries carry oxygenated blood. Nutrients are mainly transported in the blood but not specifically what arteries are defined by carrying. Carbon dioxide is carried by veins (deoxygenated blood has more carbon dioxide). Hormones are transported in the bloodstream but not the defining characteristic of arteries. Deoxygenated blood is mainly carried by veins (except pulmonary artery). Oxygenated blood is the typical content carried by arteries away from the heart (systemic circulation).

Answer:

Oxygenated blood
