After blood is oxygenated in the lungs it uses which vessel(s) to transport blood from the lungs to the heart?
A
pulmonary veins
B
respiratory arteries
C
pulmonary arteries
D
superior vena cava
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After the blood gets oxygen in the lungs, it is called oxygen-rich blood. Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary veins: Your pulmonary veins do the opposite job of your pulmonary arteries. They collect oxygen-rich blood and carry it from your lungs to your heart. This blood empties into your heart’s top left chamber (left atrium).

Detailed explanation-4: -The lung veins sometimes referred to as the pulmonary veins, are blood vessels that transfer freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atria of the heart.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Deoxygenated blood from the various parts of the body returns to the right half of the heart, via the vena cava. This deoxygenated blood is carried to the lungs for oxygenation through the pulmonary artery. It is then pumped to the heart via the pulmonary vein for circulation to various tissues.
