The pulmonary veins. The word vein is deceiving, because the pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. They carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium, and from there it goes to the left ventricle, to the aorta, and then to the rest of the body.

MaxineBlood vessels comes in two forms, veins(carry deoxygenated blood), arteries(carry oxygenated blood) and capillaries? maybe, i am not sure if it is a form of blood vessel. Written by Brigitte.P age 13
Basically, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart and is carried to the body cells by the red blood cells. the red blood cells contain haemoglobin and this reacts with the oxygen in the blood to make oxyhaemoglobin. the oxygen is then separated from the haemoglobin and respiration occurs in your body cells. Carbon dioxide is made and is carried back to the right side of your heart and is pumped to the lungs to be exhaled

Does the pulmonary vein collect oxygen from the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenatedblood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart :)
What Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the heart?
The pulmonary artery Carries blood containing Oxygen From your lungs to your Heart. So the answer you are seeking is Pulmonary Artery.
What is the main artery that carries blood to your lungs?
The pulmonary artery is the main artery that carries blood to your lungs.
What does the aorta to the lower body do?
The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to all parts of the body except to the lungs. Oxygen-poor blood is carried to the lungs from the heart through the pulmonary artery.
What is the vessel leaving the heart with low oxygen?
The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.
