• II. Arteries - C. Carries oxygenated blood: Most arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues. (Exception: Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs)
• III. Veins - B. Carries deoxygenated blood: Veins generally carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. (Exception: Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart)
