A Field Trip Around the Heart

Before we can go out to the body, we need to travel through the other side of the heart first. We return to the heart, specifically to the left atrium, through the pulmonary veins.

Veins are what take blood back to the heart and this is the only time we're oxygenated blood in a vein because we're just coming back from the lungs.
