Blood is returned to the heart via the veins. Some of the main veins are: Jugular veins (from head) Pulmonary veins (from lungs) Portal vein Azygos vein Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Iliac vein Femoral vein (from legs) Popliteal vein Great saphenous vein Small saphenous

Veins
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are the veins. Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. veins
Veins.
A blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart.
A blood vessel that carries blood that is low in oxygen content from the body back to the heart. The deoxygenated form of hemoglobin (deoxy-hemoglobin) in venous blood makes it appear dark. Veins are part of the afferent wing of the circulatory system, which returns blood to the heart. In contrast, an artery is a vessel that carries blood that is high in oxygen away from the heart to the body.
Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Pulmonary vein
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
If a blood vessel ruptures, it has developed a leak. In an artery (going away from the heart) the blood will leak much faster than in a vein (going back to the heart).
