What happens if blood and oxygen is taken away from your body?

Red blood cells, a major component of blood, carry and distribute oxygen throughout the body, giving individual cells access to oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for cell respiration - a process that allows cells to generate the energy they need to sustain themselves and do their tasks and jobs. If enough blood is taken from the body, cells can't access oxygen to sustain themselves, let alone do their job, so they would shut down and begin to die. This is why major blood loss can result in death.

Why is the pulmonary vein the onley oxygen-rich vein in your body?
Veins and arteries are not classified by whether they carry oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor blood. They are classified according to whether they carry blood to the heart or away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart. So the pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart, which is why it is a vein. Also, the pulmonary artery, which carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs is an artery because it carries blood away from the heart.
What part of the heart is responsible for the intake and oxygenation of blood?
The heart is the pump. It pumps the blood regardless of the oxygenation status of the blood. The right side of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated means from which the oxygen is taken away. The left side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood. Blood gets oxygen and gives away the carbon bi oxide in the lungs. Lungs are specialized organ system to perform the same function.

Arteries take blood away from the heart (arteries=away). Almost always these carry blood high in oxygen. Veins carry blood back to the heart and almost always carry blood low in oxygen. The only exception: Pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the heart but they are low in oxygen and need to pick up this in the lungs. The Pulmonary veins carry oxygen to heart from the lungs.
