Detailed explanation-2: -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: -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 pulmonary arteries and the pulmonary veins are the vessels of the pulmonary circulation; which means they are responsible for carrying the oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs and carrying the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
