The pulmonary artery carries the blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary vein then returns the oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart where it is pumped along the aorta->arteries->arterioles->capillary bed. It is then returned to the heart via venules->veins->inferior/superior vena cava.
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.
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.)
The structures that empty into the left atrium are the four pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. This blood is then pumped into the left ventricle to be distributed throughout the body.
Pulmonary veins
veins from the body or the pulmonary veins from the lungs
The pulmonary veins carry blood from the lungs back to the heart.
Those are the veins that drain blood from the lungs, and empty into the left atria.
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.
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.
The pulmonary vein brings newly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart and into the left ventricle.
The four pulmonary veins bring blood that has been oxygenated in the lungs back to the heart. They empty directly into the left atrium. Its is important to note that while most veins carry deoxygenated blood, the blood in these vessels are oxygen rich.
The blood vessel carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart is the Pulmonary Vein. All veins carry blood towards the heart and all arteries carry blood away from the heart.
