Detailed explanation-1: -Veins. Veins carry blood toward the heart. After blood passes through the capillaries, it enters the smallest veins, called venules. From the venules, it flows into progressively larger and larger veins until it reaches the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood leaves the capillary and enters the small venules. These venules become progressively larger vessels called veins. The vena cava are the two largest veins that carry blood into the right upper chamber of the heart (the right atrium).
Detailed explanation-3: -These are blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Veins become larger and larger as they get closer to the heart. The superior vena cava is the large vein that brings blood from the head and arms to the heart, and the inferior vena cava brings blood from the abdomen and legs into the heart. 30-Apr-2019
