what are the functions of veins
In systemic circulation, the oxygenated blood is pumped into the muscles and the organs of the body through the arteries by the left ventricle. The nutrients and gases are exchanged at the capillaries. Then the blood enters the veins filled with cellular waste and carbon dioxide. This deoxygenated blood is then taken to the right atrium by the veins. The veins are blood vessels which carry the deoxygenated blood back to heart from the body tissues in our circulatory system.
