Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries carry blood away from the heart and into the organs – where it splits into arterioles, and further into capillaries. These then join to form venules, which join again to form veins, which carry blood back from an organ to the heart.)

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs. The pulmonary artery then carries the oxygen-poor blood from your heart to the lungs. Your lungs add oxygen to your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body’s tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Arteries begin with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart. They carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body’s tissues.
