The left and right pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood to the left atrium. There are four of them total and is best seen from a posterior surface view of the heart.
Blood flow of the heart: say we start with the right atrium.
1.) Right atrium
2.) Tricuspid valve ( travels through Chorde Tendineae + Papillary muscles)
3.) Right Ventricle
4.) Pulmonary semilunar valve
5.) Pulmonary Trunk
6.) Left + Right Pulmonary Arteries
7.) ( This is your Pulmonary Circulation through the lungs)
8.) Lungs
9.) Left and right Pulmonary veins
10.) Left atrium
11.) Bicuspid valve (Mitral valve) ( travels through Chorde Tendineae + Papillary muscles)
12.) left ventricle
13.) Aortic semilunar valve
14.) ascending aorta
15.) aortic arch
16.) brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, or left subclavian artery.Or takes the decending aorta route.
17.)( This is your systemic circulation)
18.) Comes back through veins: Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, or coronary sinus.
19.) Back into Right atrium

oxygenated, the pulmonary vein is the only vein in the body with oxygenated blood

What are the blood vessels that contain valves to prevent blood from flowing in a backward direction?
Pulmonary artery which contains pulmonic valve and aorta which contains aortic valve.
Where does the blood flowing to the left atrium enter?
Blood flowing into the left atrium comes from the two pulmonary veins.
What direction does blood flow from the pulmonary veins?
toward the heart from the lungs
What type of veins contain valves?
In the large veins. Because in the large veins the blood must fight the gravity, the blood is flowing up, there are valves in them to prevent the blood to fall down again.
Which characteristics describes the blood carried by the pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. Like all veins the blood in the pulmonary veins travel toward the heart.
What do veins have that arteries do not to keep waste rich blood flowing in the right direction?
Valves.
What flap of tissue keeps the blood flowing in the wrong direction?
These are valves, and are found in veins to prevent blood from flowing backwards.
Are the veins in the valve?
Other way around. Valves appear in veins to keep the blood flowing in one direction to the heart.
Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
The vessel with valves that keep blood from flowing in the right direction?
Veins have valves to make sure that blood flows in only one direction.
What vessels carry blood away from the lungs?
Pulmonary veins
