Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inferior vena cava is the vessel that delivers venous blood from the tissues and organs of the abdominal and pelvic cavities, and from the lower limbs. The other choices do not perform this function. Coronary veins return blood from the heart muscle itself, the pulmonary trunk carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, the superior vena cava returns blood from the upper body to the heart, and the fossa ovalis is a depression in the interatrial septum of the heart.
