Blood which is being pumped out of the heart after being oxygenated by the air we breathe in.(its this oxygenated blood which is bright red) The oxygen carrier on the red blood cells, haemoglobin, is what transports the oxygen. As this oxygenated blood is carried round the body in the arteries, the oxygen diffuses. This darker, deoxygenated blood is then carried back to the heart by the vena cava. (a couple of veins transporting the blood from the upper and lower body). The heart pumps the deoxygenated blood (much darker in colour) to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated and the process starts again.
What else can I help you with?

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.
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.

Arteries almost always carry oxygen rich blood. The only exception is the pulmonary artery.
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?

What color is the blood from the arteries?
The blood in ARTERIES is BRIGHT RED beacuse it is rich in oxygen. :)) -Zuri
Is your blood blue or is it your veins?
