Vena Cava is a large vein that delivers blood to the heart from different parts of the body. The vena cava is divided into two parts: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava is the larger of the two. The superior vena cava is responsible for transporting blood from the head and neck to the arms and chest.
Veins are blood vessels that deliver blood to the heart. The majority of veins return deoxygenated blood from the tissues to the heart; the pulmonary and umbilical veins, on the other hand, return oxygenated blood to the heart.
Arteries are strong, muscular blood arteries that transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. They are capable of withstanding a great deal of strain and pressure generated by your blood flow but do not carry a significant volume of blood.
