What are the functions of veins?

Question

What are the functions of veins?

Answer 1

To collect deoxygenated blood from the organs and bring them to the heart.

Answer 2

The function of the veins is to carry blood back to the heart. Please don't make the assumption that veins always carry deoxygenated (carbon dioxide-filled) blood - they don't.

In the case of the heart-body system, they do carry deoxygenated blood, but in the case of the heart-lungs system, they carry the freshly-oxygenated blood.

Answer 3

Veins carry blood TO the heart

-oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

- deoxygenated blood from throughout the body to the heart.

Artery's differ from veins as they carry blood FROM the heart

- Deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs

- and Oxygenated blood from the heart to the body

So basically the function of veins is to distribute blood to the heart

hope that makes sense

Answer 4

To move blood throughout the body

Answer 5

Transport blood.
