The operating principle is a process called diffusion, which causes a substance to move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. Think of a squirt of perfume diffusing from a corner in a room until you can smell it everywhere in the room. Blood returning from the body to the lungs has a higher percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) than the air inhaled into the lungs does. Conversely the concentration of oxygen (O2) in the inhaled air is greater than the concentration of O2 in the returning blood. Haemoglobin, which can (loosely) bond to both O2 and CO2, facilitates the exchange of gasses from respective regions of high concentration to the regions of lower concentration. Specifically, CO2 moves from the returning blood (higher concentration) to the air in the lungs (lower concentration) and oxygen moves in the other direction, thus oxygenating the blood.

Do the lungs have de oxygenated blood?
De oxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs to BE oxygenated. So yes.
Where does blood becames oxygenated?
Blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs.
Blood Is oxygenated where in the body?
Blood is pumped into the lungs and the blood is oxygenated when oxygen is taken into the lungs
Blood leaving the lungs is?
Blood leaving the lungs is oxygenated
Where blood is oxygenated?
lungs
What carries oxygenated blood to the lungs?
Blood travels to the lungs because it is not oxygenated and it will become oxygenated in the lungs, since that is what the lungs are for. The pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein takes blood from the lungs back to the heart, from whence it is pumped throughout the body.
When blood moves from the lungs to the heart it is now?
Blood is de-oxygenated when it it pumped into the lungs, and after going through the lungs, is now oxygenated.
What carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs?
Arteries and veins carry freshly-oxygenated blood away from the lungs.
Does The right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs?
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
Does right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs?
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
What vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs
Where in the body does the blood get oxygenated?
The body picks up oxygen through the lungs.
