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.

What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?
Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
