The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood.
Like all veins the blood in the pulmonary veins travel toward the heart.
deoxygenated blo od
Blood carried by the pulmonary arteries is deoxygenated. Blood carried by the pulmonary veins is oxygenated.
Oxygen-poor blood
The pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart and it is low in oxygen.
This is through the Pulmonary Circulation.
Low oxygen/de-oxygenated blood is carried by:all the veins (except the pulmonary vein)the pulmonary artery.
Pulmonary viens conduct blood away from the lungs.This blood is carried to the right atrium of the heart.
The left atrium receives the blood carried from the pulmonary veins.
Oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary vein. This vein transports blood from the lungs to the heart.
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
Blood transported by the pulmonary veins returns to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs.
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs
