The pulmonary vein is responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Specifically, it transports blood from the pulmonary capillaries, where gas exchange occurs, to the left atrium of the heart. This process is crucial for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues and organs. Unlike other veins, the pulmonary vein is unique as it carries oxygenated blood instead of deoxygenated blood.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the only vein in the body to carry oxygenated blood?
The PULMONARY vein. Pulmonary = lungs. Vein = ALWAYS carries blood TO the heart.
What is pulmonary vein ablation?
~pulmonary vein isolation
Why pulmonary is an artery rather than vein?

Which has more oxygen the pulmonary vein or the coronary sinus?
Pulmonary vein
What is the name of the vein that carries blood from the lungs to the heart?
Artery - always carries blood FROM the heart Vein - always carries blood TO the heart The vein which brings blood to the heart from the lungs is the PULMONARY VEIN ('pulmonary' = lungs). The one carrying blood away from the heart to the lungs is the pulmonary artery. Easy.
What connects the lungs to the circulatory system?
The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein.
What does a pulmonary artery carry that a pulmonary vein doesn't?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
What are two structural differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
one is vein one is artery
What is the pulmonary vein's function?
The pulmonary vein transports oxygenated blood back to the right atrium from the lungs.

What is the similarity between pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery?
Both the pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery are blood vessels located in the pulmonary circulation system of the body. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, while the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
Location of pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary vein carries OXYGENATED blood from the lungs, where it has become oxygenated, to the atrium of the heart
