VEINS AND ARTERIES FUNCTIONS

1. Subclavian Arteries-- Transports O2ated blood from the aorta to the arms
2. Subclavian Veins-- Transports deO2ated blood from the arms to the heart (RA)
3. Jugular Veins-- Transports deO2ated blood from the head to the Superior Vena Cava
4. Cartoid Arteries-- Transports O2ated from aorta to the head
5. Anterior (Superior) Vena Cava-- Transports deO2ated blood from the jugular vein to the heart (RA) 
6. Posterior (Inferior) Vena Cava-- Transports deO2ated blood from the legs to the heart (RA)
7. Pulmonary Veins-- Transports O2ated blood from the lungs to the heart (LA)
8. Pulmonary Arteries-- Transports deO2ated blood from the heart (RA) to the lungs
9. Hepatic Vein-- Transports deO2ated blood from the liver to the Inferior Vena Cava
10. Hepatic Portal Vein-- Transports deO2ated blood from the intestines to the liver
11. Renal Arteries-- Transports O2ated blood from the aorta to the kidneys
12. Renal Veins-- Transports deO2ated blood from the kidneys to the Inferior Vena Cava 
13. Iliac Arteries-- Transports O2ated blood from the aorta to the legs
14. Iliac Veins-- Transports deO2ated blood from the legs to the Inferior Vena Cava
15. Aorta-- Transports O2ated blood from the heart to the rest of the body
16. Coronary Arteries-- Transports O2ated blood from the aorta to the heart
17. Coronary Veins-- Transports deO2ated blood from the heart muscles to the heart chambers
18. Mesenteric Arteries-- Transports O2ated blood from the aorta to the intestines
