Hint: The body's blood arteries are separated into two functional circuits: the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. The right ventricle is the pump for the pulmonary circuit, which pumps blood through the lungs. The left ventricle serves as the pump for the systemic circuit, which supplies blood to the body's tissue cells.

Complete answer:
Let us begin with our answers:
Pulmonary artery - It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs.
Posterior vena cava - It is a large vein which carries deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle part of the body to the right auricle of the heart.
Renal artery - The blood flows from liver to kidney in renal arteries.
Hepatic vein - The oxygen deficit blood flows from liver to heart via vena cava.
Hepatic portal vein - In this blood vessel the flow of blood from spleen and gastrointestinal tract is to the liver. By this vein the nutrient rich blood reaches the liver for filtration of toxic products by liver function.

Note:
The circulatory system of the body (cardiovascular system) transports nutrients and oxygen to all of the body's cells. It is made up of the heart and the blood arteries that flow throughout the body. The arteries convey blood out from the heart, while the veins return it. It is a notable feature that lungs, kidney and liver function to cleanse blood toxins and carbon dioxide.
