blood vessels which carry blood to the heart are called 'veins'. They begin when capillaries carrying low oxegenated blood flow into larger vessels called 'venules'..these venules then flow into the heart via the 'vena cava' with blood from the head and major organs?? entering via the superior vena cava, and blood from the appendages and rest of the body entering via the inferior vena cava.
Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. They are named for their anatomical position, not what they carry. Most do carry blood higher in oxygen but not all.

After the blood cells leave one of the four heart chambers, it flows through arteries, which then lead to the destination. Ie; limbs, organs, etc.
Blood leaves the heart through two vessels: going to the lungs, it leaves through the pulmonary artery, and going to the rest of the body, it leaves through the aorta.
The blood leaves the heart through the aorta and then travels through the body via various branches of the vascular system
these are not called blood tubes they are called blood vessels and their are three types of blood vessels arteries which divides into arterioles and arterioles re divide into capillaries capillaries join to form venule and venule join to form veins.
Blood leaves the heart through arteries, and returns through veins.
