What is the process in which deoxygenated blood comes to the lungs to get oxygen?

Deoxygenated blood comes to the lungs to be reoxygenated in the respiratory process. This involves both blood flow and the circulation of oxygen from it's separation from room air into base gas components in the lungs. The perfusion process is also another name for it, but this is a little general.
The blood itself circulates to the lungs via the pulmonary artery (the only artery to carry deoxygenated blood) to the lungs where the spent oxygen is exchanged as carbon dioxide for new oxygen molecules via the perfusion process and is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein(the only vein to carry oxygenated blood).

∙ 12y agoThe pulmonary artery from the right ventricle takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
This oxygenated blood returns to our heart through the pulmonary vein. Lungs too get their oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein.

Where does blood go a brighter color?
Blood is bright red due to the high concentrations of oxygen in it. This blood is known as oxygenated blood. Blood that appears dark in color or "blue" is blood that has been used by the body and has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in it. This blood in known as deoxygenated blood!
Does the right atrium in the body contain oxygenated or dexoygenated blood?
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood, then the blood moves into the right ventricle. So both of them receive deoxygenated blood. Once the blood returns from the lungs it is oxygenated and comes into the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium then to the left ventricle then out to the body.
How does blood move in a human body?
Blood is moved throughout the body through veins and arteries. Veins carry the deoxygenated blood back to the heart so it can move through the chambers, go to the lungs and pick up oxygen. Then the arteries take over by pumping the blood back out to the entire body. Veins are bluish in color because of the lack of oxygen. Arteries are the pulse in the body because they must pump the oxygenated blood to the entire body to supply all organs and tissues with oxygen rich blood. Hope this helps A RN in NJ
Where does the blood in the left atrium come from?
It comes from the 4 pulmonary veins that drain into the left atrium. they carry oxygenated blood that has come from the pulmonary circulation as well as the deoxygenated blood from the bronchial arteries.
What determines your blood type?
The determination of blood's color will depend on if there is oxygen in the blood or not oxygenated blood is a dark red color, the same color of the blood that comes out of am open scratch, Or Blue if it has little to no oxygen at all
Is there a certain percentage of oxygen in the deoxygenated blood when it heads back to the heart in the veins?
The oxygen is given by way of diffusion in the capillary system. Oxygen is not taken actively by the cells. So some oxygen is bound to be there in the deoxygenated blood. You have roughly half the oxygen, that comes back in deoxygenated blood.
When the blood comes back from the body it is?
deoxygenated = oxygenated
Do viens carry deoxygenated blood?
VeinsGenerally, yes. Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. The exception is the pulmonary vein. That vein comes from the lungs and contains freshly oxygenated blood.
Where does blood go a brighter color?
Blood is bright red due to the high concentrations of oxygen in it. This blood is known as oxygenated blood. Blood that appears dark in color or "blue" is blood that has been used by the body and has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in it. This blood in known as deoxygenated blood!
What blood type is the blood that comes from the lungs and contains high levels of oxygen?
There is no blood type in that case its just an oxygenated blood. Blood type does not changes in the process of respiration
How did the bloodin the left ventricle become oxygenated and in the right ventricle deoxygenated?
The blood in the right ventricle comes from the right atrium which comes from the vena cava which collects all the blood from the body - this blood has had all oxygen in it used by the metabolism of the bodily tissues. this blood is sent to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated this re-oxygenated blood is then sent to the left atrium then to the left ventricle.
Where does blue blood come from before entering the heart?
There is no "blue blood," only red blood. Deoxygenated blood is dark red and oxygenated blood is bright red. Deoxygenated blood (dark red) picks up oxygen at the lungs in the alveoli. The high concentration of oxygen in the lung cavities diffuse into the low concentration of oxygen in the blood. The oxygen binds to the hemoglobin and becomes "oxygenated," and continues to the systemic circuit.
Blood vessels that take fresh blood to your heart is called?
what do you mean by "fresh blood"? Deoxygenated blood from the body comes through the inferior and superior vena cava. Oxygenated blood from the lungs comes to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
What is the chamber in the heart that pumps blood to the lugs?
The right ventricle and atrium ,as the deoxygenated blood comes from the Vena cava and then to the chambers which are the right side of the heart.
What are the major veins that deliver low oxygenated blood to the heart?
The vena cava brings deoxygenated blood (blood whose oxygen has been used by the body) back to the heart. The vena cava empties into the right atrium. The inferior vena cava (IVC) comes from below the heart, the superior vena cava (SVC) comes from above the heart.
What receives oxygen from the lungs?
Blood vessels comes in two forms, veins(carry deoxygenated blood), arteries(carry oxygenated blood) and capillaries? maybe, i am not sure if it is a form of blood vessel. Written by Brigitte.P age 13Basically, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart and is carried to the body cells by the red blood cells. the red blood cells contain haemoglobin and this reacts with the oxygen in the blood to make oxyhaemoglobin. the oxygen is then separated from the haemoglobin and respiration occurs in your body cells. Carbon dioxide is made and is carried back to the right side of your heart and is pumped to the lungs to be exhaled
Does the right atrium in the body contain oxygenated or dexoygenated blood?
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood, then the blood moves into the right ventricle. So both of them receive deoxygenated blood. Once the blood returns from the lungs it is oxygenated and comes into the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium then to the left ventricle then out to the body.
