1 Arteries. 2  Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. 3  Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where oxygen is picked up by red blood cells. 4  Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body. 5  Veins. 6  Veins are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart.
The Role of Blood Vessels. Blood vessels carrying blood away from the heart are called arteries.

In the systemic circulation, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart into the aorta.
