Veins carry blood to the heart from the body, and arteries carry blood from the heart.
Usually, the blood in veins is deoxygenated (ie. has very little oxygen left), and arteries have oxygenated blood. However, in the pulmonary ("lungs") circulatory system, it is the opposite (ie. veins ALWAYS carry blood TO the heart, whether oxygenated or not, and vice versa).
veins
The aorta is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary artery is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.
Arteries
The Aorta. arteries
your heart
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs. It is the vessel that carries blood from the right ventricle.
Inferior vena cava and superior vena cava carries the deozygenated blood from the body to the heart. The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs from the heart. the pulmonary VEINS carry blood to the heart from the lungs.
The aorta is the artery leaving the heart, the vena cava is the vein going to the heart.
The ' pulmonary vein' carries blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs
There are two circuits: Pulmonary-carries blood to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic-carries blood from the body and back to the heart
It carries blood toward the heart.
Inferior vena cava and superior vena cava carries the deozygenated blood from the body to the heart. The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs from the heart. the pulmonary VEINS carry blood to the heart from the lungs.
