What gas is the blood rich in when arteries approaches the capillaries?

All arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to capillaries throughout the body. Likewise, veins carry CO2=loaded blood back to the lungs for re-oxygenization.

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
Do arteries carry nutrient-rich blood to capillaries?
Yes they do
What carries carry oxygen rich blood from the heart to the body?
Arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
Arteries.
What do the viens arteries and capillaries do?
They pump blood to and from your heart carrying rich red blood cells. They also help take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide.
What would happen if you didnt have capillaries?
If we didn't have capillaries, we would die. This is because CAPILLARIES are the passageways between the arteries (carrying oxygen- rich blood AWAY from the heart) and the Veins (carrying oxygen- poor blood back INto the heart). Capillaries come in close contact with the body's organs. They exchange their oxygen- rich blood (provided by the arteries) with the organ's oxygen- poor blood (containing carbon dioxide). Thus, the body's organ supply of oxygen- rich blood is replenished. Then, the capillaries give their oxygen- poor blood (from the organs) to the Veins, which bring the blood back to the heart, so it can be filled with oxygen again. It's all a big cycle, and our capillaries play a big role in this cycle. The heart, blood, and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and CAPILLARIES) are all a part of the amazing Cardiovascular System! (Also known as Circulatory system) We really need those Capillaries !! So... What would happen, you ask? Well, the blood in the arteries an the blood in the veins would mix. That is very bad. Our body could not survive if oxygen-rich blood and oxygen- poor blood mixed. We have the capillaries to ensure they never interact!!
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
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 are the organs of the 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 carries blood to and from the body cells?
The heart pumps the blood through the arteries to the cells, and then through the veins back to the heart.
What is the organs in the circulatory system?
The Heart.... parts are: veins= oxygen poor blood arteries= oxygen rich blood capillaries= tubes that exchange nutrients between those two^^^
What blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to cells?
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
