How is the blood in pulmonary veins different from blood in other veins?
You must learn that the term artery and vein are anatomical terms. Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. And veins bring blood back to the heart. Arteries are not always oxygen filled and veins are not always carbon dioxide filled. Since the pulmonary veins are carrying blood back from the lungs to the heart, they must have more oxygen.
Vessels that take blood from the lungs?

How does the plumonary artery and the pulmonary vein differ from all other blood vessels?
