Which blood vessels take blood AWAY from the heart?

• Veins

• Arteries

• Capillaries

Which blood vessel has valves to prevent the back-flow of blood?

• Arteries

• Capillaries

What is the function of most arteries?

• Transport deoxygenated blood

• Transport oxygenated blood

• Site for exchange of materials

This separates the heart into two separate sections for oxygenated and deoxygenated blood:

• septum

• atria

• ventricles

• apex

What is the function of the coronary artery?

• Transports oxygenated blood from aorta to heart muscles
