Veins are vessels that bring blood to the heart. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. There are four pulmonary veins which extend from the left atrium to the lungs. They are the right superior, right inferior, left superior, and left inferior pulmonary veins.

Which veins carry de-oxygenated blood?
Veins carry a little bit of oxygen, our bodies do not use all the oxygen we breathe in. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs, back to the left atrium so it may be pumped through the left ventricle into the aorta and out into the arterial circulation.
Are veins the blood vessels that carry blood from all parts of the body back to the heart?
Yes. People may often say that the "dirty blood" or de-oxygenated blood is transported in the veins, though this is not completely accurate as The Pulmonary Veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs TO THE heart.
Why are hypercoagulable states dangerous?
It may put a patient at risk for obstruction of veins and arteries (phlebitis or pulmonary embolism).
Why are Hypercoagulation disorders dangerous?
It may put a patient at risk for obstruction of veins and arteries (phlebitis or pulmonary embolism).
How can blocked veins be prevented?
Well, it is possibly there may be certain foods that can block veins in the body.
Where in a human do you find red blood cells?
you may find red blood cells in veins
Do the veins carry deoxygenated blood?
No. (Not counting the pulmonary veins) the least "deoxygenated" blood is in the renal veins and the jugular. (Neither the brain nor the kidneys use up all the oxygen in their blood supply.) Blood flow to the skin is sometimes controlled by temperature - heat to be lost - and MAY be less desaturated.
What is the function of pulmonary vain?
The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart so that it may be circulated all over the body. Anything "pulmonary" has to do with the lungs, like the pulmonary arteries bring de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that it may travel to the aveolis and become oxygenated.
What is the sole artery that does not carry oxygenated blood?
The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava do not carry oxygenated blood to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, which may seem odd since it's called a vein- but vessels leading TO the heart are called veins and vessels travelleing FROM the heart are called arteries.
Does all veins carry deoxygenated blood?
They carry oxygenated blood in only a few cells since veins are drawn back into the heart and to the lungs to get oxygenated and back into arteries to be pumped out. If the oxygen from the blood that is being pumped out from your arteries is not being used too much, then the oxygen is still carried by the cell to deliver the oxygen to other organs in the body.
What kingdom has prokaryotes that may be found in the human body?
The kingdom that has all prokaryotes that may be found in the human body is......Eubacteria or just bacteria
How do the arteries of the pulmonary circulation differ structurally from the systemic arteries?
The pulmonary arteries have walls that are more thin than the systemic arteries. This is because the pulmonary arteries do not serve the metabolic needs of the body tissues, but only the lungs. The function of these arteries is to bring blood into close contact with the alveoli of the lungs.
