No, veins take deoxygenated blood back to the heart through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
Veins carry the blood to the heart to get oxygen back in it, while arteries carry the blood away from the heart.
Veins carry oxygen depleted blood to the heart.
Blood in veins is sent to the heart to get oxygen.
Arteries, capillaries, and veins. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart. Capillaries are between the arteries and veins and supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients.
The 2 modes of blood transport are the veins and arteries. The way I use to remember is A is for away, so therefor arteries take blood away from the heart and veins go to the heart. Veins NORMALLY carry oxygen poor blood & Arteries NORMALLY carry oxygen rich blood
veins move blood to the heart; arteries move blood away from the heart. Blood goes from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen, then back to the heart, then to the body (to deliver the oxygen), then back to the heart, where it starts the process over again.
A vein. Your veins take blood back to the heart to be pumped to the lungs to get oxygen. When your veins flow blood back to the heart, it goes through the left side of your heart.
There are three main types of blood vessels. The arteries(red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body's tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poorbloodback to the heart.
Arteries take blood away from the heart (arteries=away). Almost always these carry blood high in oxygen. Veins carry blood back to the heart and almost always carry blood low in oxygen. The only exception: Pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the heart but they are low in oxygen and need to pick up this in the lungs. The Pulmonary veins carry oxygen to heart from the lungs.
Blood is transported in arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the vessels that take blood from the heart. Veins are the vessels that take blood back to the heart, and capillaries are the tiny vessels that attach the arteries and veins. Transport of oxygen and nutrients occurs on the capillary level.
veins
The term "vein" describes vessels leading to the heart. The Pulmonary Veins are the only veins that carry oxygen rich blood. They carry the blood from the lungs to the heart.
