Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Arteries transport oxygenated blood away from the heart except for pulmonary arteries, while veins collect deoxygenated blood from the body and transport it toward the heart except for pulmonary veins. Capillaries have very thin walls without muscles and are responsible for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste between the blood and tissues.
