Deoxygenated, the blood has come from the rest of the body to the heart via veins, and is being pumped from the heart (hence being an artery) to the lungs to be oxygenated, and brought back to the heart through the pulmonary vein as oxygenated blood (to be pumped to the rest of the body again).

What veins are connected to the heart?
Heart Muscle VeinsThe veins that return blood from the heart muscle include the small cardiac vein (where present), the great cardiac vein (mostly from the left marginal vein), the middle cardiac vein, and the anterior cardiac veins. Most of these join to form the coronary sinus.Veins returning blood to the heart (right atrium - 7 )Inferior vena cavaSuperior vena cavaAnterior cardiac veinsSmallest cardiac veinsCoronary sinusVeins returning blood to the heart (left atrium - 4 )Left pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)Right pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)
What part of the heart carries the blood to the heart?
Pulmonary Arteries
What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?

The blood moves from right ventricle of the heart to the lungs back to the left atrium.
What part of the heart receives the blood from the lungs?
