Detailed explanation-1: -Your aorta and pulmonary trunk (arteries) send blood out of your heart. Your pulmonary veins, superior vena cava and inferior vena cava (veins) carry blood into your heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries carry blood away from your heart. Veins carry blood back toward your heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries and veins go into and out of the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood to the heart. The flow of blood through the vessels and chambers of the heart is controlled by valves.

Detailed explanation-4: -From there, it leaves your heart and travels upward along the left side of your ascending aorta. Beneath your aortic arch, your main pulmonary artery splits into the right pulmonary artery and left pulmonary artery. These arteries then travel to each of your lungs.
