- Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to your heart from your organs.
- These are not to be confused with your arteries, which transport oxygenated blood from your heart to the rest of your body.
- Capillaries gather the deoxygenated blood that passes into your veins.
- The tiniest blood veins in the body are called capillaries. Your capillaries provide oxygen to your tissues through their walls.
- Before entering your veins, carbon dioxide might enter your capillaries from the tissue.
- The venous system is the collection of veins that return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
