Blood is returned to the heart via the veins. Some of the main veins are: Jugular veins (from head) Pulmonary veins (from lungs) Portal vein Azygos vein Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Iliac vein Femoral vein (from legs) Popliteal vein Great saphenous vein Small saphenous
it is a vein. I got it from my seventh grade science textbook.
The vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the brain back to the right side of the heart is the jugular vein. Specifically, the internal jugular vein collects blood from the brain and neck and drains it into the brachiocephalic vein, which then empties into the superior vena cava. This blood ultimately returns to the right atrium of the heart.
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are the veins. Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. veins
Veins
A blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart.
Veins.
A blood vessel that carries blood that is low in oxygen content from the body back to the heart. The deoxygenated form of hemoglobin (deoxy-hemoglobin) in venous blood makes it appear dark. Veins are part of the afferent wing of the circulatory system, which returns blood to the heart. In contrast, an artery is a vessel that carries blood that is high in oxygen away from the heart to the body.
Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
Pulmonary vein
If a blood vessel ruptures, it has developed a leak. In an artery (going away from the heart) the blood will leak much faster than in a vein (going back to the heart).
