What is the carrier of food nutrients and oxygen?
blood vessels. they are the pathways or tubes in the body through which blood flows. the blood vessel are of three kinds. these are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. the arteries carry blood away from the heart. the veins bring blood back to the heart. capillaries carry blood rich in oxygen to the tissue, and carry away waste products
Where do gases exchange?
The pathway of the circulatory system varies based on different species. The mammalian cardiovascular system begins with the pulmonary circuit. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. As the blood flows through capillary beds in the lungs, it adds oxygen and subtracts carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart. Next the oxygen-rich blood flows into the left ventricle as the ventricle opens and the atrium closes. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood out of the body tissues through the systemic circuit. Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta, which passes blood to arteries leading throughout the body. The first branches from the aorta are the coronary arteries which provide blood that the heart muscle needs. Then come branches leading to capillary beds in the forelimbs. The aorta continues, supplying oxygen-rich blood to arteries leading to arterioles and capillary beds in the abdominal organs and legs. Inside the capillaries, oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse along their concentration gradients with oxygen being moved from the blood to the tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration diffuses into the bloodstream. Capillaries join again, forming venules, which give blood to veins. Oxygen-poor blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs is guided into a large vein called the anterior vena cava. Another large vein called the posterior vena cava drains blood from the chest and back legs. The two venae cavae empty their blood into the right atrium and the oxygen-poor blood flows into the right ventricle.
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 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.
Why does hemoglobin make blood red?
Blood contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, which contains iron, is found in red blood cells and is the ingredient that makes blood red. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to wherever it's needed throughout your body. You've probably noticed that sometimes blood is bright red, while other times it is dark red. The difference in color comes from the changing amounts of oxygen in the blood. Arteries, a type of blood vessel, carry blood away from the lungs and heart to the rest of your body. That blood is rich in oxygen, which joins with hemoglobin to give the blood its bright red color. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which have narrow walls through which tiny substances can pass, distribute oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells.
How do you know that the blood in the arteries is oxygen-rich?
oxygen rich blood is red, while oxygen poor blood is blue. this is the reason that blood in your arteries are always red, and blood in your veins are always blue.
Do arteries never carry oxygen-rich blood?
Arteries almost always carry oxygen rich blood. The only exception is the pulmonary artery.
Is blood in the arteries in rich in oxygen?
By definition, ALL arteries carry Oxygen rich blood. Veins carry oxygen depleted blood.
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
What delivers blood rich in oxygen to the cells in the body?
Usually arteries carry blood rich in oxygen to body cells. However, arteries do not always carry oxygen. The word artery is an anatomical term meaning vessels leaving from the heart.
Do arteries carry oxygen rich-blood?
The blood in most arteries is oxygen rich. The blood in the pulmonary artery is oxygen-poor.yes all the arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery which carry deoxigenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart towards the lungs..I don't know what arties are, but arteries carry oxygen-rich blood while veins carry CO2 rich blood.
Does the circumflex artery carry oxygen rich or poor blood?
All arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen except those arteries that carry blood to the lungs called the pulmonary arteries.
Which statement is true A. All arteries carry oxygen-rich blood. B. All veins carry oxygen-rich blood. C. All arteries except the pulmonary artery carry oxygen-rich blood. D. All veins except the pulmonary vein carry oxygen-rich blood?
All arteries except the pulmonary artery transport oxygen-rich blood
What color is the blood from the arteries?
The blood in ARTERIES is BRIGHT RED beacuse it is rich in oxygen. :)) -Zuri
What are the organs of circulation?
they are the arteries, which are rich in oxygen,veins which is rich in carbon dioxide, capillaries, which the body takes in oxygen and such from blood , heart which ensures the blood is always flowing, and the lungs which take in oxygen and release co2

What structure carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart?
Arteries always carry blood from the heart. In this case, the artery is the aorta.
