The heart gets the oxygen from the red blood cells that "trade" CO2 for oxygen in the lungs and travels back up to the heart and gives the heart a bit of the oxygen and then gives the rest of the oxygen to the other organs (like the alveoli and the liver and the gut ect)

What blood vessels take blood away from the heart after oxygen is added?
ARTERIES ALWAYS take blood AWAY from the heart.
What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?
I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.
Where does oxygen poor blood first enter the heart?
somewhere
What side of the heart pumps oxygen rich blood?
The left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood out of the heart through the aortic valve. The heart works as a pump with an average of 72 beats per minute in healthy adults.
Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
What is blood carried away from the heart rich in?
blood coming from the HEART is rich in oxygen
What does the heart deliver to our lungs?
Blood with no oxygen (the blood that flows to the heart picks up oxygen from the lungs).
What type of blood vessel takes blood from cells to the heart?
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Why is the blood flowing to the heart oxygen-poor while the blood flowing to the rest of the body is oxygen-rich?
When the blood is flowing back to the heart, the blood has already given off its oxygen to the rest of the body which means it contain less oxygen concentration in the blood. and when blood is flowing from the heart to the rest of the body, the blood contains high level of oxygen because they were being given oxygen by the lungs which passes along the heart and the heart pumps it to the rest of the body.
What type of blood vessel takes blood cells from back to the heart?
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Which number of the heart contains blood rich in oxygen?
The left side of the heart contains oxygen-rich blood. The right side of the heart contains deoxygenated blood.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen- rich blood separate from oxygen - poor blood?
It is important to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood in your heart to prevent damage to the heart muscle, angina attacks or even myocardial infarction as heart muscle will dye without good oxygenated blood flow.
What chamber of the heart give the body oxygen?
the heart does not give the body it's oxygen it is the lungs. The heart is used to pump the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then to pump the blood throughout the body and add oxygen to the blood cells.
Which vessels supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the substances carried by blood and their functions?
Blood carries oxygen through out your body. Your lungs inhale oxygen and the blood cells carry the oxygen to your heart. Then the heart makes more blood cells to carry more oxygen to pump more blood.
Where does right side of heart pump blood to?
The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood (blood deprived of oxygen) to the lungs where it can then receive oxygen.
Does the heart pump out only oxygen-rich blood?
No. The heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs, and pumps oxgyen-rich blood to the body.
