The correct answer is: d - Pulmonary vein-Takes oxygenated blood to heart $\mathrm{pO}_2=95$ $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$
a- Artery- Carry blood from heart to body parts. It is thick walled and elastic, under high blood pressure.
b- Capillary- thin walled, with only one layer, facilitates the diffusion of nutrients, gases, etc., into tissues
c- Vein - thin walled, brings blood from body parts to heart, act as low resistance conduct for blood flow.
d- Pulmonary vein-take oxygenated blood to heart, $p \mathrm{O}_2=95 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$.
