In Homo sapiens, blood is most highly oxygenated as it leaves the lungs in the pulmonary vein. It travels from the pulmonary vein to the left atrium, is transferred to the left ventricle, and is pumped through the aorta. From the aorta, it travels through various arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues. It travels back to the heart through the veins, is pumped from the right atrium into the right ventricle, and exits the heart in the pulmonary artery. This deoxygenated blood returns to the lungs through the pulmonary artery to retrieve more oxygen.
In a healthy Homo sapien, the blood traveling from the pulmonary vein and through the arteries should always be 99%-100% oxygenated.
What else can I help you with?
Which chemical in your blood carries oxygen?
haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood
How do you know that blood in the most veins are oxygen poor blood?
blood in the most veins are oxygen poor blood because it gives greenish colour.
Which of the four blood vessels contains most oxygen?
The pulmonary vein contains the most oxygen as it carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart for distribution to the rest of the body.
What is the name for blood that has most of its oxygen given to the bodys cells is called?
Deoxygenated blood, also referred to as oxygen-poor blood or venous blood. This blood is returning to the heart after delivering oxygen to the body's cells.
What is polycythemia?
Most oxygen is transported in the blood bound to what?
Do arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries?
Systemic Arteries carry oxygen rich blood (also called oxygenated blood). Pulmonary Arteries carry oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
What is a substance which allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen and iron?
A red blood cell carries Oxygen and Carbon DIoxide
Most of the oxygen in the blood is transported?
Oxygen molecules are bound to the red pigment HEMOGLOBIN, a protein complex found exclusively in red blood cells. A very small amount of oxygen is also dissolved in the liquid portion of blood, but hemoglobin carries the bulk of oxygen.
What are the blood vessels that carry oxygen filled blood away from the heart are called?
Most arteries are high in oxygen except for the pulmonary arteries.
What has the highest blood oxygen concentration?
the androgerodamus vein has the most
Which blood vessel contains the most oxygen?
The pulmonary vein carries blood rich in oxygen from the lungs to the heart. This oxygenated blood is then pumped to the rest of the body through the aorta.
Why is the blood in the arteries red?
In Arteries, blood has already obtained the oxygen, which gives blood it's red color. In veins, blood is returning back to the heart and lungs for oxygen. Oxygen-deprived blood is a bluish/purple.
