The Vena Cava which includes the the Superior (2) and Inferior (1) bring blood rich in Carbon Dioxide back to the heart from the head, arms, torso and legs.

The Pulmonary Artery (8) which branches to the left and right lungs, carries deoxygenated, #CO_2# laden blood to the lungs.

The Pulmonary Vein (9) bring #O_2# rich oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs.

The Aorta, ascending (14) and descending, take oxygenated blood from the heart to the Head, Arms (15), Torso and Legs (16).
