## Blood Vessels: Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries

### Arteries
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood. The aorta is the largest artery in the body.

### Veins
Veins carry blood back to the heart. Most veins carry oxygen-poor blood and contain valves that prevent backflow.
