How does the heart get oxygen from the blood?
The heart gets the oxygen from the red blood cells that "trade" CO2 for oxygen in the lungs and travels back up to the heart and gives the heart a bit of the oxygen and then gives the rest of the oxygen to the other organs (like the alveoli and the liver and the gut ect)
What process takes in oxygen?
respiration
Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?
I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.
What side of the heart pumps oxygen rich blood?
The left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood out of the heart through the aortic valve. The heart works as a pump with an average of 72 beats per minute in healthy adults.
How does the heart get blood around the body?
the heart has a four chamber system it takes in the blood with out oxygen, gives it oxygen and pumps it though out the body
What type of blood vessel takes blood from cells to the heart?
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
What type of blood vessel takes blood cells from back to the heart?
Arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart; veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
What does the breathing system do?
it helps you to breath and to live of the oxygen once the breathing system takes in the oxygen and gives it to the heart
What does th pulmonary part of the heart do?
the pulmonary part of your heart takes the oxygen poor blood to the lungs and back.
Which part of heart allows for the exchange of nutrients and oxygen?
The exchange of nutrients and oxygen does not take place in the heart. The exchange of oxygen takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and the exchange of nutrients takes place at numerous sites around the body, but the most predominant is the duodenum and ileum of the small intestine.
What takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
Pulmonary arteries
What are the kinds of blood vessels and their functions?
1. Arteries- takes blood away from the heart 2. Capillaries- exchanges oxygen with tissues 3. Veins- takes blood back to the heart
A gas that is transported in arteries from the lungs to the body by the heart?
The pulmonary artery takes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the heart to the lungs. Oxygen is then carried back to the heart by the pulmonary vein. Finally, the aorta/arteries carry oxygen to the body.
What is the main artery leaving the heart that carries blood to the body?
The aorta is the largest; it takes oxygenated (oxygen rich) blood from the heart to the body.
Why does your heart rate go faster when you run?
Your heart rate speeds up increasingly because when you are running, you breathe faster. Therefore, you body takes in more oxygen that normal. More oxygen needed speeds up your heart rate.
What organ converts blood from oxygen-rich to oxygen-poor?
oxygen rich blood gets pumped out of your heart to your arteries which carries the blood to your muscles. then your muscles use the oxygen. oxygen poor blood goes into your veins to go back into your heart. then it goes through a cycle that takes your blood to your lungs, to get oxygen. this process is repeated.
