The circulatory system and heart are vessels that carry oxygen to myocardial cells. They help send blood throughout the entire body each time a person's heart beats.

What vessels that carry oxygen to the myocardial cells are called?
Coronary artery
The vessels that carry oxygen to mycardial cells are called what?
Coronary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the tissues of the heart muscle. The oxygen diffuses within myocardial capillaries.
What vessels that carry oxygen to the heart?
Red blood cells.
What is the functoin of the blood vessels?
Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removes CO2 and waste.
What are the tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood?
The tiniest blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood are the capillaries. These capillaries form a bed. The arterioles that carry the blood into the bed are high in oxygen. The oxygen is released to the cells. The rest of the bed is low in oxygen and venules carry deoxygenated blood to the veins back to the heart.
What blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to cells?
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
What delivers blood rich in oxygen to the cells in the body?
Usually arteries carry blood rich in oxygen to body cells. However, arteries do not always carry oxygen. The word artery is an anatomical term meaning vessels leaving from the heart.
What are the similarities and difference between red blood cells and xylem vessels?
red blood cells carries oxygen, xylem vessels carries water. both help carry out the process of respiration.
What carry's oxygen to cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body and to the cells.
Which blood vessels carries the oxygen?
The primary function of blood is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. It contains a protein called hemoglobin that bonds with the oxygen in an oxygen rich environment like the lungs and that releases oxygen in an oxygen poor environment such as is found where cells are using oxygen. Some oxygen is also in solution in the blood plasma but this contributes little to meeting the oxygen needs of the body.
A patient has an 80 percent blockage of his left anterior descending coronary artery Describe what occurs in terms of myocardial oxygen supply and demand if his sympathetic nervous system is stimulate?
Increased myocardial contractility increases the oxygen demand for the myocardial cells. If the demand of oxygen exceeds the supply, death of myocardial tissue can occur.
Do arteries transport carbon dioxide in the cells?
Arteries don't always carry blood that is high in oxygen. The term artery is an anatomical term. All blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries. All blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are veins. Most arteries do carry blood that's high in oxygen but there is an exception. When the arteries carry blood to the lungs, this blood is low in oxygen. The veins that carry the blood back to the heart from the lungs is high in oxygen. This is called the pulmonary circuit. In this more or less seems backwards. It's best to remember that arteries carry blood away from the heart.
