Which blood vessels carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body?

Answer: Arteries.

  • A Capillaries
  • B Lymphatic vessels
  • C Arteries
  • D Veins

Correct answer: C. Arteries

Explanation: Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, typically under high pressure, to tissues throughout the body.

ECG: The Three Key WavesP wave(atrial depol.)QRS complex(ventricular depol.)T wave(ventricular repol.)QRS is the tallest spike - ventricles have far more muscle mass than the atria

A single ECG cycle: the P wave marks atrial depolarisation (contraction signal), the large QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation (recovery) before the next cycle begins.

Concept context

Blood, lymph, the heart, the cardiac cycle, blood pressure, and ECG. High NEET weightage.
