QuestionSBA
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section through  the thorax. The answer describes the function of the left superior pulmonary veins, which transport oxygenated blood from the upper lobe of the left lung to the left atrium. However, the arrow indicates the right pulmonary veins, which are small blood vessels responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the upper lobe of the right lung to the left atrium. The right side of the patient is viewed on the left side of the image and vice versa.

d
Transports oxygenated blood from the upper lobe of the left lung to the left atrium
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section through the middle area of the thorax. The answer describes the function of the left inferior pulmonary veins, which transport oxygenated blood from the lower lobe of the left lung to the left atrium. However, the arrow indicates the right pulmonary veins, which are small blood vessels responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lower lobe of the right lung to the left atrium. The right side of the patient is viewed on the left side of the image and vice versa.

a
Transports oxygenated blood from the lower lobe of the right lung to the left atrium
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section through the middle area of the thorax. The answer describes the function of the pulmonary arteries, which take deoxygenated blood from the right atrium to the lungs. The pulmonary arteries are much larger in diameter compared to the pulmonary veins and they are also located more anteriorly. However, the arrow indicates the right pulmonary veins, which are small blood vessels responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lower lobe of the right lung to the left atrium. The right side of the patient is viewed on the left side of the image and vice versa.
