1. Which blood vessels are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body?

• A. Veins
• B. Arteries
• C. Capillaries
• D. Venules

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick and elastic walls to withstand the high pressure generated by the pumping action of the heart. Veins, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, while capillaries are tiny blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen and nutrients occurs. Venules are small veins that collect blood from capillaries and transport it to larger veins. Therefore, arteries are specifically designed to transport oxygenated blood away from the heart, making them the correct choice in this question.
