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 blood vessels take blood away from the heart after oxygen is added?
ARTERIES ALWAYS take blood AWAY from the heart.
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.
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.
Where does oxygen poor blood enter first?
Superior Vena Cava: All blood on the right side of the heart is CO2: Carbon Dioxide. It's O2 (Oxygen) starved.
Does oxygen enter the blood stream in the lungs or in the heart?
The lungs, I the alviolies.
Does oxygen enter the blood in the heart?
maybe your question goes this way..."how does oxygen enter the blood from the lungs?"Two types of blood vessels carry blood throughout our bodies: The arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood then travels through the veins back to the heart and lungs, where it receives more oxygen.
How can the oxygen you bring into the body get into the circulatory system?
The oxygen in each breath is circuited to the lungs where the alveoli absorb the oxygen and passed to the blood cells. The blood cells enter the heart where the oxygenated blood is circulated where needed.

Why does the blood from the different parts of the body enter the heart?
The blood from the different parts of the body enters the heart through veins in order to be pumped/circulated. First through the lungs to be oxygenated and then back to the body where it can deliver the oxygen. Starting at the heart, freshly oxygenated blood is pumped to the body where the oxygen is used up by muscles etc., and the deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart. It is then pumped to the lungs where it absorbs oxygen from the air you breathe, and finally it is pumped back to the heart and the cycle begins over again.
Were does deoxygenated blood from the body first enter the heart?
Right Atrium.
Where is freshly oxygenated blood first received?
The first organ to receive oxygen-rich blood would be the heart. The right ventricle pumps de-oxygenated blood to the lungs. The lungs provide oxygen via interaction with capillaries which in turn sends the oxygen-rich blood back to the left atrium which is found in the heart.
In a mammal blood with low oxygen content enters the of the heart?
The blood with high oxygen content enter the heart in left atrium through right and left pulmonary veins, combined together.
How does your blood get into your heart?
It originates there. First you breathe in and you add oxygen to you blood streams, by the way of capillaries. It then circulates from the heart to every where else.
What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?
Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
Where does deoxygenated blood form the body first enter the heart?
At the right atrium.
