Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : pulmonary vein

The correct answer is the pulmonary vein.

  • Pulmonary vein
    • The Pulmonary vein is the vein that transfers oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
    • The largest pulmonary veins are the four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drains into the left atrium of the heart.
    • The pulmonary veins are part of the pulmonary circulation.
    • The pulmonary veins originate from individual alveoli within the lungs as capillary vessels.


  • Superior Vena Cava
    • The superior vena cava is a large valveless vein that conveys deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body and returns it to the right atrium.
  • Hepatic Portal Vein
    • It is a vessel that moves blood from the spleen and gastrointestinal tract to the liver.
    • It is approx 3-4 inches in length and is usually formed by the merging of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins behind the upper edge of the head of the pancreas.
  • Renal Vein
    • The renal veins are veins that drain the kidney.
    • They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava.
    • The blood flowing through the renal vein is deoxygenated and contains nitrogenous waste.
