Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Where does oxygen poor blood first enter the heart?
somewhere
What is oxygens function in the body?
Oxygen is one of the most vital components of the blood. Oxygen bonds with iron in the haemoglobin, that is how it is carried to the cells for exchange with CO2.
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.
How does the oxygen change to carbon dioxide?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygenenters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
Blood that is oxygen poor?
Venous blood is oxygen poor (in comparison with arterial blood).
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
What does peripheral vein carry to the extremities oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
Oxygen poor blood
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich blood or oxygen poor blood?
poor
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
Collecting oxygen poor blood from the body and pumping it to the lungs is a function of the?
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that the blood can be oxygenated.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Which heart chambers have oxygen-poor blood?
The right chambers have oxygen poor blood. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body circulation, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen-rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen-poor blood?

Does anterior and posterior interventricular arteries have oxygen-poor or oxygen-rich blood?
oxygen poor
