The venous system, or "veins" are responsible for bringing blood back from your peripheral body to the right side of the heart, where it is sent to the lungs for reoxygenation. Veins have one way valves that function to maintain a stable pressure in the venous system, while increasing the efficiency of the heart by preventing backflow of blood in between ventricular beats.

The general term for blood vessels leading back to the heart are veins. Blood in the veins is not being pushed by the action of the heart, as in the arteries.
