The PULMONARY vein. Pulmonary = lungs. Vein = ALWAYS carries blood TO the heart.
What is the only vein does not carry oxygenated blood?
"Pulmonary veins" donot carry carbon dioxide as they bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What vessel carries oxygenated blood in the pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary vein is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood. Veins, arteries and capillaries are all known as blood vessels as they carry blood around the body.The pulmonary vein is unusual because it is the only vein to carry oxygenated blood, all other veins only carry deoxygenated blood.
How is blood in the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?
It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.
When do veins carry oxygenated blood?
Only when it is the pulmonary vein, as it carries oxygenated blood to the heart. All other veins carry de-oxygenated blood which ends up going to the heart. (The pulmonary vein, however, comes from the lungs, where blood is first oxygenated and then transported to the heart.)
Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs, to the left atrium of the heart.

How is the blood from the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?
It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.
Which vein does not contain oxygenated blood and why?
Most veins do not carry oxygenated blood. The exception is the pulmonary vein, which brings oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circuit to the heart.
What vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs
What is taken from the lungs when its pumped to the heart?
