Blood enters through what veins?
A
Inferior Vena Cava
B
Superior Vena Cava
C
Pulmonary
D
A & B
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen-poor blood from the body enters your heart through two large veins called the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Arterioles connect with even smaller blood vessels called capillaries. Through the thin walls of the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients pass from blood into tissues, and waste products pass from tissues into blood. From the capillaries, blood passes into venules, then into veins to return to the heart.
