2. **Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)** - Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body (abdomen, pelvis, legs) to the right atrium of the heart.

3. **Pulmonary Artery** - Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

4. **Aorta** - Carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body.
