The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.

What heart problems can cause dizziness?
Low blood pressure or low oxygen saturation (%).
Does blood come from the heart have a high or a low level of oxygen?
All blood coming from the heart travels through arteries but not all have high levels of oxygen.The blood that goes to the body is high in oxygen but the blood that goes to the lungs is low in oxygen.There it drops of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen and carries this back to the heart to be pumped out to the body.
In a mammal blood with low oxygen content enters what part of the heart?

What causes a low heart rate in unborn babies?
There are many causes to low heart rate in unborn babies. One of the causes could be not enough oxygen to the baby.
How do you use ischemia in a sentence?
ischemia is a result of hypoxia. hypoxia means low oxygen in the heart.
Which blood vessel carries carbon dioxide rich bloot to the heart?
Blood comes into the heart from the systemic circuit. It is low in oxygen. It comes by way of the inferior and superior vena.
What is the description of veins?
A blood vessel that carries blood that is low in oxygen content from the body back to the heart. The deoxygenated form of hemoglobin (deoxy-hemoglobin) in venous blood makes it appear dark. Veins are part of the afferent wing of the circulatory system, which returns blood to the heart. In contrast, an artery is a vessel that carries blood that is high in oxygen away from the heart to the body.
What is a thin muscle vessel?
A vein. Arteries have additional muscular layers to withstand the higher pressures of blood leaving the heart, veins lack this layer due to low-pressure environments.
Do Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the cells of the body?
Not all arteries carry oxygenated blood. The definition of an artery is a vessel that carries blood away from the heart. There are the pulmonary arteries that carry blood low in oxygen from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary veins bring blood higher in oxygen back to the heart. Then that blood is sent out the rest of the body.
What blood vessel normally transport blood that is low in oxygen?
Low oxygen/de-oxygenated blood is carried by:all the veins (except the pulmonary vein)the pulmonary artery.
What heart problems can cause dizziness?
Low blood pressure or low oxygen saturation (%).
What side of the heart receives blood that is low in oxygen?
right
Where does the heart pump blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide?
The heart pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the lungs, where blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
Can anaemia cause heart flutters?
Yes anaemia can cause heart flutters (palpitations). The cause is usually due to the heart trying to compensate for low oxygen levels in the body. Anaemia is an abnormally low amount of haemoglobin in the blood, which is the part of blood which carries oxygen. Therefore, low haemoglobin levels lead to low oxygen levels. In response, the heart will often try to increase the amount of blood pumped around the body, to meet the body's demand for oxygen by beating faster. This can cause a high heart rate which can lead to palpitations or heart flutters.
What do veins carry back to the heart?
Blood cells low on oxygen.
Does blood come from the heart have a high or a low level of oxygen?
