Your body picks up oxygen in your lungs. Your right ventricle pumps blood through your pulmonary artery to your lungs. Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs. From there, it needs to get to the rest of your body. How can it do that? Something has to send it there. Let's send it through a vein to the heart. Maybe we can get the heart to send the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Then the heart takes that blood and pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen leaves the blood it returns by way of veins. Under what conditions would a vein contain oxygenated blood?
