The pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the __________ to the __________.
The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood form the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
What is the name of the blood vessel that carries newly oxygenated blood from the lung back to the heart?
When blood needs to leave the heart to become oxygenated, it leaves the right ventricle through the pulmonary trunk, which then splits into the right and left pulmonary arteries. This blood goes to the lungs, becomes oxygenated, and comes back to the heart via the right and left pulmonary veins, which empty into the left atrium. The newly oxygenated blood travels through the left atrium and ventricle of the heart before it exits through the aorta to deliver freshly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

Which pairing of chambers corresponds to those that receive deoxygenated blood and pump blood into the pulmonary circuit?
The heart has four chambers and only two interact with deoxygenated blood. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava which then passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle where it is pumped towards the lungs to be oxygenated.
