They are called the Pulmonary Veins. They are the only types of veins that carry Oxygen-Rich blood (usually Arteries do that).
These Pulmonary Veins carry blood that has been re-oxygenated in the lungs back to the heart for distribution to the body through the Aorta/Descending Aorta.
Hope this helped!
What else can I help you with?
What do arteries and veins drain?
Arteries drain (pump blood) into veins. Veins drain into your lungs and heart to be re-oxygenated. (This is not true for veins and arteries to and from your lungs.)
Which vessels transport blood toward the heart and have valves?
The venous system, or "veins" are responsible for bringing blood back from your peripheral body to the right side of the heart, where it is sent to the lungs for reoxygenation. Veins have one way valves that function to maintain a stable pressure in the venous system, while increasing the efficiency of the heart by preventing backflow of blood in between ventricular beats.
Which vessel transports blood from the heart to the lungs?
The vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs is called the pulmonary vein. It is one of the few veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart. The oxygenated blood enters the atrium of the heart.
What Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the heart?
The pulmonary artery Carries blood containing Oxygen From your lungs to your Heart. So the answer you are seeking is Pulmonary Artery.
Where does blood goes after leaving the lungs?
Oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and returns to the heart via pulmonary veins to be pumped throughout the body.
Do veins never carry oxygen-rich blood?
The term "vein" describes vessels leading to the heart. The Pulmonary Veins are the only veins that carry oxygen rich blood. They carry the blood from the lungs to the heart.
What do arteries and veins drain?
Arteries drain (pump blood) into veins. Veins drain into your lungs and heart to be re-oxygenated. (This is not true for veins and arteries to and from your lungs.)
Vessels that take blood from the lungs?
Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to different organs are called arteries.Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart are called veins.
How blood get from the lungs to the heart?
Pulmonary veins
What is the blood vessel that carry blood to your heart?
veins from the body or the pulmonary veins from the lungs
What occurs in veins?
Veins are where you will find deoxygenated blood that is returning to the heart to be sent to the lungs.
What is the blood vessel that carries oxgen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary veins are high in oxygen and carry blood to the heart. The heart will then pump it to the rest of the body.
What are the parts of the circilatory system?
your heart, lungs, arteries, and veins
What blood vessels carry blood back to the heart from the lungs?
The pulmonary veins carry blood from the lungs back to the heart.
What part of the heart which receives blood from the lungs is the?
The heart receives blood from the lungs on the left side through the Pulmonary Veins.
What are the names of two veins that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart?
The pulmonary veins are found in pairs. Two from each lung. They carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Do veins allow blood to travel away from the heart?
No. Pulmonary veins take blood from the lungs to the right atrium.(veINs take blood IN to the heart.) Pulmonary arteries take blood from the heart(left ventricle) to the lungs. But pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body to carry oygenated blood, and pulmonary arteries are the only arteries to carry deoxygenated blood.
