the exchange of co and o2 at the capillary level to oxygenate the cells and tissues.

Does the right atrium receive oxygen-rich blood from the lungs?
Not normally - that's the site of venous blood collection.
Which body part brings Deoxygenated blood back from brain?
The deoxygenated blood leaves the brain via the dural sinuses. These are large veinous structures located in the dura mater that connect with the internal jugular vein.
How is carbon dioxide carried around human body?
Carbon Dioxide is transported throughout the body using the red blood cells' hemoglobin, which first carries Oxygen to the lungs, and then to the heart. The blood then carries deoxygenated blood back to the lungs to exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
What is defferance in artey or vien?
Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs of the body; veins transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
What is meaning of blood circuit?
A blood circuit is the pathway blood travels from the heart out of the aorta to the rest of the body (oxygenated blood), then (deoxygenated blood) returns back to the heart to be sent to the lungs to exchange CO2 for oxygen then returns back to the starting point to leave the heart through the aorta again. A blood circuit is the pathway blood takes from a certain point then eventually returning back to that point.
What deoxygenated blood carried in the vena cava empties into of the heart?
Deoxygenated blood from the lower body travels through the Inferior Vena cave. Deoxygenated blood from the upper body travels through the Superior Vena Cave. Both vessels empty into the Right Atrium.
What enters the right atrium of the heart?
Deoxygenated blood from around the body.
What travels blood around your body?
your heart??
How does the blood flow through the heart through the body?
A very simplistic explanation: If we start with the aorta (the biggest artery in the body), the oxygenated blood from the heart travels through this around the entire body and supplies oxygen, nutrients, etc. The deoxygenated blood then travels back to the heart via the venous systems and enters the left atrium. From the left atrium it travels to the left ventricle and is pumped by this ventricle through the pulmonary arteries (don't be deceived by the name here - the blood is still deoxygenated), to the lungs where it picks up oxygen. The oxygenated blood then travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins and enters the right atrium. It then travels into the right ventricle and the ventricle pumps the blood into the aorta and the cycle repeats. Essentially you have two closed loops.
What transfers wasteful blood from tissues into the pulmonary circulation.?
Capillaries
What artery besides the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated oxygen?
arteries mainly carry oxygenated blood as they transport blood around the body providing oxygen in order to keep the body functioning. the veins usually carry deoxygenated blood to be recycled.
Which vessels carry deoxygenated blood from different part of the body to the heart?
Which vessels carry deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body to the heart
Does the term blue blood refer to the blood in the arteries?
No. Veins, have the deoxygenated blue blood. they travel throughout the body to the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and turn the blood red. Th red blood travels through the heart and out in to the arteries.
After blood releases oxygen to the cells of the body the blood becomes what?
deoxygenated
When the blood comes back from the body it is?
deoxygenated = oxygenated
Name the blood vessel that brings deoxygenated blood to human heart?
The inferior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the bottom half of the body to the heart. The superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart .. Hope this answers your question .
What organ carries food and oxygen around the body?
The blood vessels do. These are not organs, it's where the blood travels through the body.
