With one exception, veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The largest and last blood vessel they pass through is called the superior vena cava. The exception is the Pulmonary Vein, which carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.

The oxygen is released to the cells. The rest of the bed is low in oxygen and venules carry deoxygenated blood to the veins back to the heart.
