What is the a-v O2 difference is?
The amount of oxygen taken up by the tissues in a muscle. It is the difference between oxygen concentration in the arteries and the oxygen concentration in the veins.ie. if your blood carries 20ml of oxygen per 100ml of blood and the muscle takes up 6mls of oxygen, 14mls of oxygen leaves the muscles into the veins.therefore, VO2-diff = 20ml-6ml = 14ml.
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 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.
