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.
