As a subject matter expert in cardiovascular anatomy, I can provide you with an accurate description of the blood vessels involved in pulmonary circulation.
The
blood vessels that carry blood
to and from the lungs are the
pulmonary arteries and the
pulmonary veins.
The
pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the
right ventricle of the heart to the
lungs. Here, the blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled.
After oxygenation, the now oxygen-rich blood is carried back to the heart by the
pulmonary veins, which transport it to the
left atrium. From there, it is pumped into the
left ventricle and then out to the rest of the body through the
aorta.
