Explanation:

Veins are blood - vessels that carry deoxygenated (oxygen - poor) blood from the body's tissues back to the heart. Arteries carry oxygen - rich blood away from the heart to the body. Platelets, white blood cells are components of blood and their delivery to specific sites is part of the overall circulatory and immune function but not the primary function of veins. Oxygen - rich blood is carried by arteries to the body.
