2 - (I) Coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium

3 - (R) Common Carotid artery carries blood to the head

4 - (F) Anterior Cerebral Artery carries blood to frontal and parietal lobes

5 - (O) Valves prevent backflow of blood

6 - (S) Carry blood away from the heart

7 - (J) Celiac trunk is a branch of the abdominal aorta

8 - (K) Vertebral vein drains blood from spinal cord and neck muscles

9 - (T) Radial artery is an artery in the arm

10 - (C) Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the right ventricle.

11 - (A) Thoracic aorta is a continuation of the Aortic arch which descends through the thoracic cavity

12 - (H) Renal Vein carries blood away from the kidneys

13 - (G) Tunica externa is composed of fibrous connective tissue

14 - (X) Popliteal vein is a vein in the leg

15 - (M) Internal elastic membrane is present in arteries and not veins

16 - (B) Brachiocephalic artery is a branch of the aortic arch

17 - (Y) Median Sacral artery supplies blood to the coccyx

18 - (E) External Jugular Vein drains blood from the head

19 - (D) Veins carry blood toward the heart

20 - (Q) Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium

21 - (V) Inferior Vena Cava drains blood from abdomen and legs

22 - (P) Capillaries are the site of exchange between cells and bloodstream

23 - (N) Hepatic Portal vein carries nutrients from digestive organs to the Liver

24 - (L) Tunica Media contains smooth muscle tissue

25 - (W) Ulnar Vein drains blood from medial forearm
