In other words, the left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the heart, and the right pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the right lung to the heart.
Why is the lung narrower that the right lung?
the left lung is narrower than the right lung because of the amount of space the mediastinum (which includes the heart, blood vessels and others) on the left side. the left lung includes a cardiac notch where the heart lies.
Which organs oxygenates the blood?

This artery then divides into left and right pulmonic artery. The left going to the left lung and the right artery to the right lung. This blood flow helps the oxygen in your lungs enter your blood to be delivered to all your tissues.
What vessel transports blood from lung to heart?
the right and left pulmonary veins

they transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to either the left or right lung where the blood is oxygenated
From the right side of the heart blood goes to this?
The blood that leaves the right side of the heart is passed into the pulmonary arteries. This blood is oxygenated in the lungs and passes through the pulmonary veins into the left side of the heart.
Is the right or left lung larger?
The right lung is larger than left lung The left lung is made up of 2 lobes while right is made up of 3 lobes.
How many lobes does the left lung have?
After the mainstem bronchus, two secondary bronchi supply the left lung (and three supply the right lung).
Where does the artery pump blood to?
