Veins play a major role in circulation of blood. They are the blood vessels which take blood from different parts of body into heart. They help in circulation of deoxygenated blood from different tissues of body to lungs. Veins are of two types like pulmonary veins and umbilical veins. Both these veins help in circulation of oxygenated blood. Veins are different from arteries in functions and structure. The main function of arteries is to carry blood from heart to different parts of body. Infection in veins and arteries may affect the circulatory system of human beings and other mammals. In some cases, it may result into twisting and blockage of veins valves and if the infection in veins is not treated properly then they may take the life of people.
