  1. Pulmonary artery

  2. Pulmonary vein

  3. Coronory artery

  4. None of these

Correct Option: B

In mammals, veins differ from arteries in having

  1. Thicker walls

  2. Deeply present

  3. Carry blood away from heart

  4. Internal valves

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Veins carry deoxygenated blood (with the exception of pulmonary veins and umbilical vein) from different parts of the body to the heart. They have thin, elastic muscle layer with semilunar valves that prevent the blood from flowing in the opposite direction. 

So, the correct answer is option D.

The vein that does not directly open into the heart is:

  1. Pulmonary vein

  2. postcaval vein

  3. Precaval vein

  4. Posterior mesentric vein

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • The pulmonary vein opens directly into the left atrium while postcaval and precaval veins into the right atrium.
  • The posterior mesenteric vein is a blood vessel that drains blood from the small intestine (jejunum and ileum). At its termination behind the neck of the pancreas, it combines with the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein and hence does not open into the heart.
So, the correct option is 'Posterior mesenteric vein'.

Arteries carry oxygenated blood,except

evs transportation in living organisms circulatory system and organs blood and blood vessels circulatory system blood pressure

  1. Coronary artery

  2. Hepatic artery

  3. Aorta

  4. Pulmonary artery

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues, except for pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to the lungs for oxygenation (usually veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart but the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood as well).

So, the correct answer is 'Pulmonary artery'.
