As far as I know the only vein containing oxygenated blood is the pulmonary vein, leading from the lungs to the left atrium. If anyone notices I'm wrong, feel free to improve this answer.
the inferior vena cava caries de-oxygenated blood.
The Inferior vena cava - just like the Superior vena cava -, returns blood to the heart. When blood is returning to the heart, that blood is already circulated in the body, therefore it is already downloaded the oxygen to the body tissues, and picked up the carbon dioxide from them. From the vena cava (superior and inferior), the blood enters the heart (right atrium), is pumped into the right ventricle, and then pumped into the lungs (through the Pulmonary Arteries), where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen. So, the blood in the vena cava is deoxygenated.
a drop of blood in the inferior vena cavsa is oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor?
The inferior vena cava is one of two veins which carries deoxygenated blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart.
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery.
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery.
Right atrium receives de-oxygenated (without oxygen) blood from the superior and inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava brings blood from the top portion of the body mainly the neck, head etc. The inferior vena cava brings blood from the lower portion of the body like the abdomen, legs etc.
The aortaDuring pregnancy, what happens to the oxygenated blood returned from the placenta via the umbilical vein? A.It flows into the inferior vena cava.
The hepatic vein drains de-oxygenated blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava.
The inferior and superior vena cava from the body enter the right atrium. The pulmonary vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium.
oxygenated blood is carried by arteries and not veins. when unoxygenated blood pass through the heart, it is brought by either the superior vena cava or the inferior vena cava.
The Pulmonary Vein carries oxygenated blood (blood carrying oxygen) to the heart from the lungs and the other superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava (both are veins also) carries de-oxygenated blood (blood not carrying oxygen) to the heart from the body.
