Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram scan of the aorta (red, centre), the pulmonary artery (red, centre right) and the vena cava (red, centre left) as they leave and enter the heart. The aorta is the body's main artery, distributing oxygenated blood from the heart-lung system to the rest of the body. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. The vena cava returns deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. The pink branching structures at right and left are the bronchioles (airways) of the lungs. | |
