Carbon dioxide rich blood, which is red blood cells lacking oxygen but high in carbon dioxide concentration.These blood cells have circulated through the body and given up much of its oxygen while collecting waste carbon dioxide. The pulmonary artery carries this blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.

What parts of the hearte is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide?
What parts of the hearts is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide
What carries blood rich in carbon monoxide?
Nothing does. Carbon monoxide is toxic. If your blood is rich in it, you will soon be dead. Veins generally carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide.
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
Short note on heart?
the heart is a muscular organ which is as big as our fist. because both oxygen and carbon dioxide have to be transported by blood, the hear has different chambers to prevent the oxygen-rich blood from mixing with the blood containing carbon dioxide. the carbon dioxide rich blood has to reach the lungs for the carbon dioxide to be removed, and the oxygenated bolld from the lungs has to be brought back to the heart. this oxygen rich blood is then pumped to the rest of the body.
In the lungs is carbon dioxide more concentrated in the alveoli or in the blood?
In the lungs, carbon dioxide is concentrated more in the blood. The alveoli keeps the carbon dioxide at a lower level than in the blood.
What supplies oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood stream?
Lungs and Lungs. Blood that contains carbon dioxide means it is lacking oxygen, and the carbon dioxide was put into the blood as a waste product by all the other organs. The blood then reaches the lungs and exchanges the carbon dioxide for oxygen. The now oxygen-rich blood is transported to the heart where it is pumped throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide is exhaled from the lungs.
How carbon dioxide from cell in you hand leaves your body?
Carbon dioxide, made by the cells as they do their work, moves out of the cells into the capillaries, where most of it dissolves in the plasma of the blood. Blood rich in carbon dioxide then returns to the heart via the veins.
How does the cardiovascular and respitorary systems react with each other?
There are many tiny blood vessels in the lungs called capillaries and these have thin membranes through which oxygen can flow from the lungs into the blood. They also exchange carbon dioxide which you exhale. The heart carries carbon dioxide rich blood to the lungs where it is expelled and oxygen is absorbed into the blood when you inhale and that oxygen rich blood goes back to the heart along a different artery than the one carrying the carbon dioxide rich blood.
What color is carbon dioxide filled blood?
Carboxyhaemoglobin (carbon dioxide rich blood) is a red-purple colour.Oxyhaemoglobin (Oxygen rich blood ) is deep redCarbonmonoxyhaemoglobin (Blood containing carbon monoxide) is bright redAside: Some people think some blood is blue because veins (containing CO2 rich blood) appear blue. This is due to the colour of the veins and the colur absorption of the tissues. Octopi and horseshoe crabs do have blue blood because they use copper, not iron, to transport oxygen.
Is it true that arteries carry blood that is rich with carbon dioxide away from the heart?
No, they carry blood rich with oxygen away from the heart to all the body.
Which Ventricle Pumps Carbon Dioxide Rich Blood?
The right ventricle pumps blood returning from the body to the lungs where it is oxygenated.
Does carbon dioxide pass through the mothers blood or the baby's blood?
Carbon dioxide travels through both their bloods. All the cells of the baby and of the mother respire and produce carbon dioxide, which diffuses into the blood and circulates with it. In the mother, it eventually reaches her lungs where it diffuses into the alveoli and is breathed out. The baby has no functioning lungs, so when carbon dioxide rich blood travels through the umbilicus to the placenta, the carbon dioxide diffuses across to the mother's blood vessels, whence it proceeds to her lungs as before.
