∙ 9y agoThe veins lead the de-oxygenated blood back to the heart, where it goes through the right atrium, right ventricle, and through the Pulmonary Arteries to the lungs, where gas exchange happens.
Gas exchange is the process of CO2 and O2 swapping. This occurs in the capillaries, filled with blood and CO2, and the alveoli in the lungs. The capillaries wrap around the alveoli, and both capillaries and alveoli have very thin walls (one cell thick), so thin that CO2 and O2 particles can swap around.
When you breathe in, O2 travels into your lungs, through many tubes, to get to the tiny alveoli, where they then move through the alveoli's walls to the capillaries. When you breathe out, the opposite occurs, CO2 is transfered from the capillaries to the alveoli and leaves the lungs, and the body.
The capillaries then take the blood, now filled with oxygen, back to the heart. Then the blood circulates the body. This process is repeated every time you breathe.

∙ 12y agoBlood carried through veins is has no oxygen in it. Veins lead to the lungs and the air we breathe in gets into our veins (of course the carbon is removed leaving only oxygen or O2).

Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen-rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
What makes the blood red and it carries oxygen in the blood?
oxygen is the answer
Why is oxygen-rich blood separated from oxygen-poor blood in the human body?
Oxygenated blood is the blood remaining after the oxygen intake by the body from the blood. And than oxygenated blood goes to Lungs and heart with enrich with oxygen for the body.
Blood receive oxygen in the?
Blood gets oxygen in the cells. This is part of the body system.
Do arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries?
Systemic Arteries carry oxygen rich blood (also called oxygenated blood). Pulmonary Arteries carry oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
What if oxygen-rich blood mixes with your oxygen-poor blood?
the quality of our blood that rich with oxygen will become low
Why does blood circulate from the heart to the lungs?
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
What makes the blood red and it carries oxygen in the blood?
oxygen is the answer
How is oxygen transferred to the blood?
oxygen is transferred to the blood by breathing
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen-rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen-poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
Which chemical in your blood carries oxygen?
haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood
Is dark blood oxygen-rich?
Dark red blood is oxygen-poor. Bright red blood is oxygen-rich.
