Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your inferior vena cava, your body’s largest vein, carries oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm). Your superior vena cava, your second biggest vein, brings oxygen-poor blood from your upper body to your heart. Think of it like a bus line.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vena cava are the two largest veins that carry blood into the right upper chamber of the heart (the right atrium). The superior vena cava carries blood from the brain and arms into the top of the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -In sonographic measurements performed in the transverse view, the diameter of aorta (Ao) constituted 15.7 mm, the longer dimension of the inferior vena cava (IVC1) equaled 28.4 mm and the shorter one (IVC2) – 15.5 mm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aorta, which connects the heart’s left ventricle to the main high-pressure pipeline, is the biggest artery. The blood channels that transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body’s tissues are known as arteries. More items
