Venae Cavae,
these are two large veins which carry deoxygenated blood
from the body and pump it in to the heart
Inferior vena cava – Lower body to
heart
Superior vena cava – upper body to
heart
These are blood
vessels which carry mostly deoxygenated blood whole of the body and
pump in to the heart
Exceptions – Pulmonary and umbilical veins
carry oxygenated blood to heart
