Its the only artery that carries oxygenated blood.
Arteries Cary oxygenated blood. This is usually to organs or muscles with the exception of the pulmonary artery wich carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
Well there are more then a hundred arteries in the Human body and as you know all of them carry oxygenated blood, (with the exception of the Pulmonary artery.) So you will have to specify you question a bit more
The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava do not carry oxygenated blood to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, which may seem odd since it's called a vein- but vessels leading TO the heart are called veins and vessels travelleing FROM the heart are called arteries.
Pulmonary veins receives blood from the lungs and brings it back to the heart to be circulated to the rest of your body. It is the only vein that carries blood to the heart (that's usually an artery's job).
De-Oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery is one of the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Pulmonary veins, these are the only viens that carry oxygenated blood
All respiring cells in our body need oxygen for respiration, so oxygenated blood has to travel all around the body in order to reach each of these cells.
No, it is oxygenated. Pulmonary veins are the only veins in the human body that carry oxygenated blood.
Well, oxygenated blood from the left ventricleleaves the hearth through the Aorta. It is their where the oxygenated blood in the Artery (only arteries carry oxygenated blood) takes it to the upper/fore limbs (the arms).I hope this helps you. im doing A level Biology. FascinatingJosh
It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.
heart
The heart is made up of four chambers. Two atria (top half) and two ventricles (bottom half) The right atrium receives unoxygenated blood from the body and pushes it into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the unoxygenated blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated. The left atrium then receives this newly oxygenated blood from the lungs and pushes it into the left ventricle which then sends the blood (with lots of oxygen for the body to use) to the rest of the body. The blood from the body then returns to the right atrium and the cycle starts all over again.
The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.
well the first port of call is the lungs to exchange co2 for o2 and then back to the heart so obviously the heart// peace obviously its the heart. what is the first to receive from the heart the question ask
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart so it can travel to the various organs and be used. However the pulmonary artery is an exception as it carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to gain oxygen. Otherwise the others only carry oxygenated blood :)
