Arteries transport blood to the heart.

• A. Sometimes
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Not sure

Answer: (C)

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, not toward it. This is true for systemic arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood to tissues and for pulmonary arteries that take blood from the heart to the lungs. Blood returns to the heart through veins, not arteries (pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart). So the statement that arteries transport blood to the heart is false.
