Veins do carry deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood into the heart. Superior and inferior vena cava carry the oxygen-poor blood to the heart; blood enters into the right atrium. Contraction of the atria forces the blood into the ventricles. From right atrium to right ventricle is the way for the oxygen-poor blood, from where the ventricular contraction forces it further into the Pulmonary trunk, from which the blood enters the lungs, via the pulmonary arteries. In the lungs the blood gets re-oxygenated through the gas-exchange process. More info could be found on related links.

Do veins carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated With the exception of the pulmonary vessels, veins carry deoxygenated blood; arteries carry oxygenated blood.
What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
What are the blood vessels that Carry?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What vessels transport deoxygenated blood into the heart?
in most cases, veins carry deoxygenated blood. the exception to this are the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood. all veins carry blood back to the heart, while arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Arteries carry what kind of blood away?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.....veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
What is different from a artery and a vein?
arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood
What are the vessels that carry deoxgenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What direction do veins carry blood?
Veins carry blood towards the heart. Arteries carry it away from the heart.
What moves blood from most parts of the body?
Blood moves through veins and arteries in most parts of the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood and arteries carry oxygenated blood.
What contains deoxygenated blood?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues and organs to the heart. Arteries are the means for carrying the oxygenated blood.
Which blood vessels carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
In the main, except from the pulmonary artery and vein. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and the vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Arteries always carry blood from the heart?
Yes, arteries can blood away and veins bring blood to.
