Which is the only vein in the body to carry oxygenated blood?
The PULMONARY vein. Pulmonary = lungs. Vein = ALWAYS carries blood TO the heart.
Why the pulmonary veins carrying the oxygenated blood and not the pulmonary artery?
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
What is the name of the vein that carries blood from the lungs to the heart?
Artery - always carries blood FROM the heart Vein - always carries blood TO the heart The vein which brings blood to the heart from the lungs is the PULMONARY VEIN ('pulmonary' = lungs). The one carrying blood away from the heart to the lungs is the pulmonary artery. Easy.
What is the blood flow of the pulmonary circuit it reoxygenate blood?
Blood flows from the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. From there it flows to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium and ventricle, then to the aorta.
Where does the pulmonary vein distribute blood to?
The pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the right atrium. This blood is oxygen-rich.
What does a pulmonary artery carry that a pulmonary vein doesn't?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
Does blood flow from the pulmonary arteries leads to the lungs?
The pulmonary artery sends blood from the heart to the lungs, while the pulmonary vein sends blood from the lungs back into the heart. So yes, pulmonary circulation flows blood through the lungs
What happens when pulmonary vein and artery connect?
This is called a shunt. One that occur between the Pulmonary artery and the Pulmonary vein, would be a left to right shunt. So what would happen? The blood from the Pulmonary vein (having the high pressure) would enter the Pulmonary artery. The results would be that the blood just goes back to the lung for another cycle with be deoxygenated.
Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs, to the left atrium of the heart.
Does deoxygenated blook flow to the lungs from the heart via the pulmonary artery?
Yes, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries blood back to the heart from the lungs.
What is a pulmonary vein and what type of blood does it carry?
A pulmonary vein is a vein that carries blood from the lungs to the left atrium heart. It is unique among veins in that it carries oxygenated blood. There is a right and left pulmonary vein that join just prior to entering the heart.
What connects the lungs to the circulatory system?
The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein.
