Except the pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood back to the heart. Arteries = oxygenated Vein = oxygen depleted
Nope, some veins carry unoxygenated blood back to your heart.
Veins. Veins carry unoxygenated blood towards the heart.
arteries, except for the pulmonary veins which carry unoxygenated blood to the lungs to be re oxygenated.
Veins carry blood toward the heart.The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava (unoxygenated blood) to the right atriumPulmonary veins (oxygenated blood) to the left atrium
Veins
Arteries carries blood away from the heart. They mostly carry oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery however carries unoxygenated blood.Veins carry blood toward the heart. They likewise carry unoxygenated blood except for the pulmonary veins which carries oxygenated blood.
The left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary arteries and veins are the only ones which are "opposite" as the rest of the bodies veins and arteries. Veins normally carry unoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart/lungs. Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood to the body from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.
The coronary veins drains the unoxygenated blood and empty it into the coronary sinus, which empties into the right atrium.
For the most part arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry unoxygenated blood. (The one exception is the pulmonary artery and vein.) Oxygenated blood is a bright red color while deoxygenated blood is a dark red.
It is an urban myth that unoxygenated blood (in veins) is blue - it is actually dark red.
Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart so it can be pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated and taken back to the heart so it can pump it all over the body again. Pulmonary arteries also carry deoxygenated blood .
the main function of veins are to carry blood to the heart!! blood travels through the veins in low pressure which is why veins have thinner walls then ateries as there is no risk of bursting!
