After blood leaves the arteries, it enters smaller blood vessels called arterioles which help supply the body with blood and then they break down into even smaller vessels called capillaries which then carry the oxygenated blood to the tissues, organs and all cells of the body. Then after the body uses up all the oxygen, the blood becomes deoxygenated which then enters venules and then veins which lead up back to the vena cava of the heart. It then enters the right atrium then passes through the tricuspid valve and then enters the right ventricle, then leaves the heart via the pulmonary artery which enters the lungs to oxygenate the blood.

Does pressure drop when blood moves from arteries to veins?
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
A vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
What is the vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
the vessel is called a artery
Why do blood flows in arteries in jerks?
Blood in arteries moves because of pressure of blood from the heart. Each time the heart pumps, it pushes the blood a little further. Veins do not rely on the heart to move blood. Veins have a system of valves to keep the blood from not moving backwards, and muscles contract the veins to move the blood.
As the blood moves away away from the heart does the blood pressure increase or decrese?
The pressure decreases as it moves away from the heart.
What moves blood from the heart?
Arteries
When blood moves from the arteries what does it go into?
The capillaries.
What moves blood from most parts of the body?
Blood moves through veins and arteries in most parts of the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood and arteries carry oxygenated blood.
What happens to blood pressure as blood moves from arteries to veins?
Blood pressure decreases as blood moves from arteries to veins. For this reason, veins have valves to encourage the one-way flow of blood back to the heart.
When the blood has given up its what it moves into a larger blood vessel?
arteries
How does the blood move to and from the heart?
it moves through the arteries
Does pressure drop when blood moves from arteries to veins?
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
Blood moves in veins because of pressure exerted by?
I think the blood moves in veins similarly to arteries but in the opposite direction. I mean as the heart pushes the blood into arteries, in an opposite way when heart is contracted the blood is pulled to it as a reaction for the action of pushing.
What are the names of the tubes the blood of the heart moves through?
veins and arteries
How does blood get from your nose to your big toe?
It moves through veins and arteries.
Blood will move toward the bifurcation in what vessel?
Blood moves toward bifurcation coming off of arteries.
A vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
