Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulmonary veins are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from your lungs to your heart. Your pulmonary veins are part of your body’s pulmonary circuit. This is a system of blood vessels that moves blood between your heart and your lungs. This circuit also includes your pulmonary arteries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. 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-3: -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-4: -The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium where it is returned to the systemic circulation. Veins carry deoxygenated blood from our body towards the heart which further moves to lungs and gets oxygenated, but we have two exceptions in veins and arteries when their functions get altered.
