platelets.
Veins are the vessels which carry
carbon dioxide-rich blood from all parts
of the body back to the heart

The pulmonary vein is a blood vessel that carries
oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
The pulmonary artery is a blood vessel that carries
deoxygeneted blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
. The two upper chambers of heart are
