Question: 1 / 400

Which part of the body sends blood to the Superior vena cava?

Legs and lower extremities

Liver

Head, neck, and upper extremities

The Superior vena cava is a large vein that carries blood from the head, neck, and upper extremities back to the heart. Option A, legs and lower extremities, is incorrect because the inferior vena cava is responsible for bringing blood from the lower body to the heart. Option B, the liver, is incorrect because the hepatic vein carries blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava, not the superior vena cava. Option D, the heart, is incorrect because the superior vena cava carries blood to the heart, not from the heart. Therefore, option C is the only answer that correctly identifies the body part responsible for sending blood to the superior vena cava.
