Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.
The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
rich oxygen
poor
Oxygen goes from the muscles to the right atrium, from there it goes to the right ventricle and into the lungs then it passes from the lungs to through the left atrium and into the left ventricle where it is recirculated through the body.
the atria and ventricle work together as a team - the atria fill with blood, then dump it into the ventricle. The ventricle then squeeze, pumping blood out the heart, while the ventricle are squeezing, the atria refill and gets ready for the next contraction. so when the blood gets pumped ,how does it know which way to go?
No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
The vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery.
The right ventricle carries oxygen poor blood that will be sent to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
The heart is divided into four chambers, the right atrium and the right ventricle, and the left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood that is oxygen poor and high in carbon dioxide enters the heart through the right atrium and is then pumped out to go to the lungs via the right ventricle. The left atrium then pumps the newly oxygenated blood into the left ventricle, which then sends the blood to all parts of the body. So, in short, the right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs and the left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood to the whole body.
Blood high in oxygen, but low in carbon dioxide can be found in the left side of the heart: the left ventricle and left atrium. Since your entire body needs oxygen, blood high in oxygen is pumped from the left side of the heart to all over the rest of your body.
