Yes, veins carry blood back to the heart after the oxygen has been delivered to the body's various organs. Just to differentiate, arteries are what carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's organs. Hope this helps!

∙ 14y agoyes. the heart, just like any other organ, consumes energy/O2 and produces waste. Thus it is necessary for the heart to have veins. There are three arteries that feed the heart: the LAD, the RCA and the PD. The veins of the heart anatomically follow the same tracks as the arteries, ultimately draining into the coronary sinus, which is a vestibule attached to the RA that receives deoxygenated blood from the coronary circulation before conveying it to the RA.
