  • Description                                                 
    • * Drain oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
    • * The pulmonary veins course in the intersegmental septa and do not follow the course of pulmonary arteries.
    • * Exit the lung as five pulmonary veins, one from each lobe of the lungs. However, the right upper and middle veins usually join so that only four veins enter the left atrium.

 

  • Branches
  • Right Superior Pulmonary Vein:
    • * Drains right lung’s upper lobe and middle lobe and enters the left atrium.

 

  • Right Inferior Pulmonary Vein:
    • * Drains right lung’s lower lobe and enters the left atrium.

 

  • Left Superior Pulmonary Vein:
    • * Drains left lung’s upper lobe and lingula and enters the left atrium.

 

  • Left Inferior Pulmonary Vein:
    • * Drains left lung’s lower lobe and enters the left atrium.
