Question

Write the function of pulmonary vein.

Answer 1

Pulmonary Vein:

• Pulmonary veins are thin-walled blood vessels. The difference between the pulmonary veins and other veins is that they carry oxygenated blood as opposed to other veins, which carry de-oxygenated blood.

Function:

• The pulmonary vein carries the essential function of bringing the oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart (left auricle).
• The pulmonary vein includes the right and left pulmonary veins.
• The right pulmonary vein brings the oxygenated blood from the right lung, and the left pulmonary vein gets the blood from the left lung.
