Deoxygenated blood leaves the heart by way of the Pulmonary Artery. It passes through the lungs losing carbon dioxide and absorbing oxygen by conversions in the haemoglobin. The oxygen rich blood returns to the heart via the Pulmonary Vein. From the heart it goes to the body, The most oxygen rich blood would be in the Pulmonary Vein just after it leaves the lungs.

∙ 11y agoIn mammals, including humans, blood flows to the lungs, where it flows through many thin walled capillaries. Here oxygen diffuses into the blood because of a concentration gradient achieved by ventilating the lungs (breathing) and the movement of the blood. Here it associates with haemoglobin in the red blood cells, which are then transported around the body in the blood stream.
While oxygen diffuses into the blood, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood along a concentration gradient also.

Blood gets oxygenated in the lungs so blood that is moving away from the lung is oxygen rich. This is the blood that is in the arteries. The veins carry the de-oxygenated blood back to the lungs ( to be oxygenated)

What are two major blood vessels that contain oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary vein and the aorta: a) The pulmonary carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. b) The aorta carries the oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and head.
What is the function of the vien?
To transport de-oxygenated blood to the heart from the rest of the body. The only exception is the pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Which part of the circulatory system carries oxygenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries carry oxygen poor blood to the lungs.
Which part of the blood carries the most Carbon Dioxide?
The Veins carry de-oxygenated blood Haemoglobin, a chemical in red blood cells carries both carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Which circulation carries oxygenated blood to the body?
Arterial systemic circulation:arterial referring to the blood carried by arteriessystemic referring to the rest of the body (excluding the lungs and the heart itself).
What vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs
What blood vessel carries oxygenated blood into the left atrium?
The Pulmonary Vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the Left Atrium.
What carries blood away from the heart and to the blood?
The Aorta. arteries
Which side of the heart carries oxygenated blood?
The left atrium and the left ventricle carries oxygenated blood in human heart.
Carries oxygenated blood to the lungs?
Pulmonary veins, these are the only viens that carry oxygenated blood
What is an artery's purpose?
An artery carries oxygenated blood. A vein carries DEoxygenated blood.
The vein that carries the highest amount of oxygenated blood?
The pulmonary vein is the vein that carries the highest amount of oxygenated blood. Other veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What carries oxygenated blood out of the heart?
arteries
What carries oxygenated blood to the body called?
Arteries are what carry oxygenated blood to the muscles and tissues.
Who carries exygenated blood through out the body?
Vessels carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. The pulmonary veins deliver oxygenated blood to the lungs. The largest artery in the body is the aorta and it carries oxygenated blood back into systemic circulation.
What carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs?
Arteries and veins carry freshly-oxygenated blood away from the lungs.
What arteries carry blood to the body or away from the body?
The Aorta carries newly oxygenated blood away from the heart and the Venous Cava carries de-oxygenated blood back to the heart.
