Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries. - is true. ***The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. [ The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. ]

Answered by maham237 @



The given statement is true.

The arteries are the blood vessels, which carry the oxygenated blood away from the heart. The arteries carry the oxygenated blood to the capillaries. the capillaries are highly branched thin walled blood vessels.

In the capillaries, the actual exchange of the gases between the blood and the body tissues takes place through the diffusion process. In the process of gaseous exchange, the capillaries become rich in carbon dioxide and other wastes, which they pass down to the veins and the veins carry the blood to heart.
