Veins take blood back to the heart.
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
The arteries (to the body) and veins (back to the heart).
The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs and pulmonary veins carry blood back to the heart.
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
1. Arteries- takes blood away from the heart 2. Capillaries- exchanges oxygen with tissues 3. Veins- takes blood back to the heart
The pulmonary system is the portion of the cardiovascular system that takes deoxygenated blood away from the heart. It then takes this blood to the lungs and returns it back to the heart.
One part takes in blood, the other pumps it back out. One part takes in blood, the other pumps it back out.
veins move blood to the heart; arteries move blood away from the heart. Blood goes from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen, then back to the heart, then to the body (to deliver the oxygen), then back to the heart, where it starts the process over again.
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
The pulmonary circulation takes blood from the heart to the lungs and back again. Blood moves from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, then into the lungs where blood is oxygenated. Blood returns from the lungs to the heart in the pulmonary vein, and enters the left atrium.
The blood travels from the heart, all through the body and then back to the heart again. This whole process only takes a matter of minutes.
An individual blood cell takes about 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body.
