What Do Pulmonary Veins Carry?

Pulmonary veins: The veins do the opposite job of pulmonary arteries and collects the oxygenated blood and carry it from the lungs back to the heart. The veins merge into larger veins. Each lung has two pulmonary veins that deliver blood to the heart’s top left chamber or atrium.Oct 3, 2021

Do pulmonary veins carry oxygen?

The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.
