Blood carried by the vein is oxygenated whereas the blood carried by the artery is de oxygenated
The gasses dissolved in the blood is different. The blood is identical.
The pulmonary vein coming from lungs carries oxygenated blood where as other veins contain de-oxygenated blood.
It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.

What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
How is the blood in the pulmonary vein different from blood in the other veins?
I believe it has less carbon dioxide than other veins.
How is blood in the in the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?
I believe it has less carbon dioxide than other veins.
Which characteristics describes the blood carried by the pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. Like all veins the blood in the pulmonary veins travel toward the heart.
Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
How is the blood in pulmonary veins different from blood in other veins?
You must learn that the term artery and vein are anatomical terms. Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. And veins bring blood back to the heart. Arteries are not always oxygen filled and veins are not always carbon dioxide filled. Since the pulmonary veins are carrying blood back from the lungs to the heart, they must have more oxygen.
What vessels carry blood away from the lungs?
Pulmonary veins
Vessels that take blood from the lungs?
Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to different organs are called arteries.Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart are called veins.
How does the plumonary artery and the pulmonary vein differ from all other blood vessels?
pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood
How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?
The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
What return blood to the heart?
Veins return blood to the heart.The pulmonary veins.
Why do you have veins that have oxygen in them?
The only veins that have oxygen in them are the pulmonary veins. The definition of a vein is a blood vessel that carries blood to the heart. This blood is usually de-oxygenated, but the pulmonary veins are the exception.
