The blood that returns to the lungs is rich in Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO exits the blood via the lungs when it returns to the lungs, and Oxygen (C2O) will enter the blood. The blood then goes back to the heart and it gets pumped through the rest of the body.

∙ 14y agothe blood that returns to the lungs is deoxygenated9 devoid of oxygen) and so blood returns to the lungs to expel the carbon dioxide and to get full supply of oxygen so that it can supply oxygen to the various cells of the body

Does blood return to the heart from the lungs by way of the pulmonary arteries?
yes
Where does oxygen rich-blood go after leaving the lungs?
After the lungs the blood goes to the heart. The heart then pumps the blood around the body via the arteries to where the oxygen is needed. The veins return the blood, with oxtgen removed, to the lungs where it can be oxygenated again.
These carry deoxygenated blood to the heart?
Veins... they return the 'used' blood back to the heart (via the lungs).

Do veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart?
In general, yes. However, the exception is the pulmonary vein which transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the hearts. In reverse, the pulmonary artery transports de-oxygenated blood to the lungs.
Left pulmonary vein function?
transports de oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated. On a side note, the pulmory arteries bring back the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart later to be pumped out of the left ventricle into the Aorta
Which side of the heart pumps de-oxygenenated blood to the lungs?
The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood. The right atrium collects venous blood return from the superior and inferior venae cavae and the right ventricle pumps this blood to the lungs.
Why is the pulmonary vein so important?
It carries oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart where the oxygented blood is then pumped around the rest of the body.
The term for the vessels the deliver blood to the veins?
Capillary beds carry deoxygenated blood into veins to return the blood to the heart and then to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
How do red blood cells protect you?
Red blood cells provide oxygen from the lungs to the various tissues in the body, and in so doing return CO2 to the lungs to be breathed out. They don't serve an immunological function.
Why does your heart pump blood around in your veins?
To return blood to the heart and lungs only to provide nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body through the arteries.
How many time do red blood cells passes through the heart when it travels from the lungs and return to the lungs?
The body has a double circulation the blood passes through the heart twice in one complete circuit.
