What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
Why is liver so dark red in living animals?
Because of the high amount of blood that circulates through the liver.
Is the blood leaving the left ventricle oxygenated or deoxygenated?
deoxygenated
How does your blood turn from Oxygenated to deoxygenated?
Your blood is never truly dexoygenated, but as it delivers oxygen to tissues the saturation of oxygen gets lower. When the blood reaches the alveoli of the lung oxygen diffuse from the higher concentration of the air to the lower concentration of the blood, where most of it binds to hemoglobin molecules.
How are the concentration gradients in the alveoli maintained?
The heart is constantly pumping blood around the body. blood entering the lungs is deoxygenated and high in C02 The air in the alveoli has a high oxygen concentration and in comparison is low in C02 This sets up a concentration gradient. This causes oxygen to diffuse into the RBC and C02 to diffuse out in order to try balance the concentration. This balance is maintained by breathing, taking away the C02 in the lungs and bringing in fresh O2 and the constant pumping of blood, bringing more deoxygeneate blood into the lungs
Is the blood leaving the left ventricle oxygenate or deoxygenated?
deoxygenated
Can an aretery carry deoxygenated blood?
Yes. The pulmonary and umbilical arteries carries deoxygenated blood.
Why is it incorrect all arteries carry blood that is high in oxygen?
Because the Pulmonary Artery which carrys blood from the heart to the lungs, is carrying deoxygenated blood.
Do veins carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated With the exception of the pulmonary vessels, veins carry deoxygenated blood; arteries carry oxygenated blood.
What colour is a red blood cell when it is deoxygenated?
The color of a red blood cell is dark red when it is deoxygenated.
What blood do the veins carry?
Deoxygenated blood.
What is your used blood called?
deoxygenated blood
