Anatomy of the Lower Respiratory System

Question 12 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

What would happen to a person who has damaged pulmonary veins?

Answer
A
Deoxygenated blood would not get back to the lungs.
B
Oxygenated blood would not circulate through the heart muscle.
C
Oxygenated blood would not get back to the heart to be pumped all over the body.
D
Deoxygenated blood would not get to the heart.

Explanation

Pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart’s left atrium. If they are damaged, that blood would not return to the heart normally, so it could not be pumped out to the rest of the body as it should. Therefore, the correct choice is “Oxygenated blood would not get back to the heart to be pumped all over the body.”
