Why you inhale oxygen only?
when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium
Do different blood tests test for different things?
There are multiple types of blood tests ranging from a complete blood count to testing very specific blood properties such as iron levels. Typically, blood is removed with a needle from a vein or artery in the arm. The amount of which is determined by the number of tests that will be run on the blood. If only a small amount of blood is needed. like that of an iron test, blood will be obtained from a finger prick.

What is impure water?
The term "impure blood" is not medical in nature. The only context in which I've heard it used is when racist people refer to anyone whose ethnicity is different from his or her own as having "impure blood". So, in the eyes of the people who actually use this term, being born to the wrong parents causes impure blood. Sometimes "impure blood" can mean the deoxygenated blood that the veins transport from the rest of the body to the heart as opposed to the oxygenated blood that arteries transport from the heart to the rest of the body. In fewer words, "impure blood" is a term that can be used to refer to blood without oxygen.
What type of reaction adds oxygen to an element?
When oxygen is added to an element through a chemical reaction, this is called oxidation. A common oxidation is the formation of rust.
What is the only artery that carries oxygen-poor called?
If it's carrying oxygen-poor blood, it must be going to the lungs, so I would guess you would call that the pulmonary artery.
What is the only artery that contains blood that needs oxygen?
pulmunary artery
Function of the right coronary artery?
right coronary artery carrying of the oxygenated blood only the heart
What is the only artery in the body poor in oxygen?
The pulmonary artery (which takes blood from the hear to the lungs to be recharged with oxygen).
How are arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from other arteries?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
Do arteries only carry oxygen rich blood?
Yes, except for the pulmonary artery.
What artery is blue in a female rat?
The only artery that is blue -- in humans as well as rats -- is the pulmonary artery, the artery that sends oxygen-depleted blood from the heart to the lungs to be refreshed.
Only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood?
The only artery that is supposed to carry deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It carried deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Any artery can carry deoxygenated blood, so be careful how you word questions.
Do arteries never carry oxygen-rich blood?
Arteries almost always carry oxygen rich blood. The only exception is the pulmonary artery.
A blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart. The pulmonary arteries carry oxygen poor blood to the lungs from the heart.Arteries always carry blood away from the heart. Veins always carry blood back to the heart.The pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood.Oxygen rich blood from the lungs is returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein.The pulmonary veins transport oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the artery and vein that takes blood to and from the lungs?
The pulmonary trunk carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart, then splits into the left and right pulmonary arteries. Answer: pulmonary trunk/left and right pulmonary arteries
Which blood vessel brings back blood with oxygen from the lungs to the heart?
Vessels that take blood away from the heart are arteries, and to the heart are veins.Blood vessel carrying blood from lungs to heart is called Pulmonary Vein. There are 4 pulmonary veins. (2 from left lung & 2 from right lung). They open into the left Atrium.
