A) superior; anterior
B) superior; inferior
C) inferior; posterior
D) inferior; superior
E) inferior; anterior


A
Explanation:
A) The anterior vena cava is the large vessel that drains blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs (upper limbs in humans) to the right atrium. In humans, this vein is called the superior vena cava.
B) The anterior vena cava is the large vessel that drains blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs (upper limbs in humans) to the right atrium. In humans, this vein is called the superior vena cava.
C) The anterior vena cava is the large vessel that drains blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs (upper limbs in humans) to the right atrium. In humans, this vein is called the superior vena cava.
