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 superior and inferior vena cava are both large veins of the body, responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart at the point of the right atrium. The superior vena cava collects blood from aspects of the body above the diaphragm, while the inferior vena cava collects blood from below the diaphragm.
Detailed explanation-3: -The superior vena cava collects deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body and the inferior vena cava collects deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body.
