To describe the function of major blood vessels:
- Pulmonary Artery: Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs (for oxygenation).
- Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.
- Aorta: The main artery that distributes oxygenated blood from the heart to the entire body.
- Superior/Inferior Vena Cava: Carry deoxygenated blood from the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) body regions back to the heart.
- Coronary Arteries: Supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) to support its function.
