Where does the oxygen from air mix with blood?
Air will not touch your blood until it is release to outside the skin. In most veins at least. Wren oxygen touches the blood, it turns red, but normally is blue. Oxygen may be circulating in your veins, but will not mix with the blood cells. The above is only half true. Oxygen mixes with your blood in the capillaries inside your lungs. The blood then transfers over to your arteries where it travels the body to deliver the oxygen to your muscles and other organs.
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.
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
How does oxygen and nutrients and waste passed from the blood into the organs and back?
The Arteries carry the blood away from the heart to the other organs and the veins bring it back when the blood has no more nutrients. From Unkown
Less oxygen in blood more oxygen in blood which organ?
Left side of the heart (left ventricle and atrium) has deoxygenated blood, but after its pumped through the lungs and enters the right side of the heart, the blood is oxygenated. If you divide the circulatory system into 'organs', then veins and venules have less oxygen, while arteries and arterioles have more oxygen. With other organs, there should be indistinguishably equal amounts of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Where does veins carry oxygen depleted blood to?
Veins carry oxygen depleted blood to the heart.
Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
Where is blood in veins sent and why?

What blood vessels carries oxygenated blood to the heart?
The coronary arteries carry blood to the muscle that makes up the heart but this blood comes directly from the large artery called the aorta.Otherwise arteries always carry blood way from the heart and veins carry it back. As far as if it they carry oxygen or not, veins carry blood back from the body without oxygen and back from the lungs with oxygen.
How do you know that blood in the most veins are oxygen poor blood?

Do the coronary veins carry oxygen-rich blood?
Coronary veins have oxygen rich blood. Hope I helped (:no, they carry deoxygenated blood to the coronary sinus.
