Understanding Pulmonary Veins Functions

This video tutorial by Matt from Kenhub explains the pulmonary veins, their location, and function. Unlike other veins, pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. There are four pulmonary veins, two from each lung, connecting to the left atrium. The right pulmonary veins transport blood from the right lung, while the left pulmonary veins do so from the left lung. The tutorial provides a mnemonic to remember that pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the heart. Additional resources for learning anatomy are available on Kenhub.
