Answer:

Veins

Step-by-step explanation:

Pulmonary veins: The veins do the opposite job of pulmonary arteries and collect the oxygenated blood and carry it from the lungs back to the heart.

The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body's tissues.

The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
