Blood vessel that carries blood AWAY from heart Blood vessel that carries blood AWAY from heart All arteries carry oxygen- rich blood except the pulmonary artery. All arteries carry oxygen- rich blood except the pulmonary artery. Largest artery is called the AORTA Largest artery is called the AORTA Arteries have 3 layers. Arteries have 3 layers. Middle layer is thick muscle Middle layer is thick muscle Outer layer is an elastic allowing vessels to expand and relax in time to pumping.

Blood vessel which carries blood TO the heart. Blood vessel which carries blood TO the heart. All veins carry oxygen poor blood except the pulmonary vein. All veins carry oxygen poor blood except the pulmonary vein. Veins are made up of 3 layers. Veins are made up of 3 layers. Middle layer is thin muscle. Middle layer is thin muscle. Muscle in veins contract to push blood back to the heart. Muscle in veins contract to push blood back to the heart. Veins have valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards. Veins have valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards.
