When the lungs do not function in a fetal pig what takes over their function?
The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
What organ converts blood from oxygen-rich to oxygen-poor?
oxygen rich blood gets pumped out of your heart to your arteries which carries the blood to your muscles. then your muscles use the oxygen. oxygen poor blood goes into your veins to go back into your heart. then it goes through a cycle that takes your blood to your lungs, to get oxygen. this process is repeated.
How does blood change as it circulates throughout the boby?
it turns from oxygen rich (oxygenated) blood to oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
What substances are carried by the blood to nourish cells?
Oxygen is carried by the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the blood mixes with oxygen, and this is transported to other parts of the body.
Does the blood vessel which carry blood from the heart to the lungs contain a lot oxygen?
Well, the lungs are where the oxygen is added to the blood. So, the short answer is 'no.' There may be some oxygen left, but the blood would probably be a deep blueish color. When the oxygen is added the blood turns red.
What is added to the blood after its been inhaled?
oxygen:)
In the lungs oxygen is added to which type of blood cells?
Red blood cells
What blood vessels take blood away from the heart after oxygen is added?
ARTERIES ALWAYS take blood AWAY from the heart.
What happens to the blood when it reaches the lungs?
The blood is oxygenated that is oxygen which has been inhaled is added to the blood and the blood then transports it to other body parts.
What is oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood?
Oxygenated blood is the blood remaining after the oxygen intake by the body from the blood. And than oxygenated blood goes to Lungs and heart with enrich with oxygen for the body.
When the lungs do not function in a fetal pig what takes over their function?
The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
What do you call it when oxygen is added to a substance?
When Oxygen is added to a substance it is called oxidation.
From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
What if oxygen-rich blood mixes with your oxygen-poor blood?
the quality of our blood that rich with oxygen will become low
Why does blood circulate from the heart to the lungs?
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
