Your blood is never truly dexoygenated, but as it delivers oxygen to tissues the saturation of oxygen gets lower. When the blood reaches the alveoli of the lung oxygen diffuse from the higher concentration of the air to the lower concentration of the blood, where most of it binds to hemoglobin molecules.

What color does blood turn when it is oxygenated?
Oxygenated blood is bright red; deoxygenated blood is dark red.
When blood reenters the heart is it deoxygenated or oxygenated?
Oxygenated
Is the blood leaving the left ventricle oxygenated or deoxygenated?
deoxygenated
Blood in bronchial artery oxygenated or deoxygenated?
Oxygenated
Do capillaries carry oxygenated blood?
Yes capillaries carry oxygenated blood :D
Is the blood of the systemic circulation system oxygenated or deoxygenated?
Both. In the systemic system arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood. The opposite is true for the pulmonary circuit.
What would happen if you didn't have a septum?
the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood would mix.
Does the pulmonary artery carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygenated blood. You can remember this easily because all ARTERIES carry oxygenated blood and all VIENS carry deoxygenated blood.
In which vertebrate does deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood get mixed?
Amphibians
What structure in the heart separate oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood?
The structure in the heart that separates oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood is the atria. These are the two sides of the heart and are separated by the interatrial septum.
Do veins carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated With the exception of the pulmonary vessels, veins carry deoxygenated blood; arteries carry oxygenated blood.
Is an atrium deoxygenated or oxygenated?
Both. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the veins of the body; the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein.
