veins (exept pulmonary vein, wich brings back oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, were it will be pumped in the body) en route back to the heart to get pumped to the lungs were it will be reoxygenated and then go into the arteries to deliver oxygen back to the organs.
You can also find deoxygenated blood int the pulmonary artery, since it brings the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
60% of the blood is found in the veins. Therefore most of the blood is deoxygenated.

∙ 10y agoThe blood becomes deoxygenated as it passes throughout the body. This is because as it passes through, it delivers oxygen to your body. Your blood also will deoxygenate if your breathing is stopped as it gets the oxygen from the lungs supply.

Which artery does not carry oxgenated blood?
Pulmonary
Which chamber of the heart receives de-oxgenated blood from the body?
the right atrium
Is oxygenated blood rich in oxygen?
To be "oxgenated" means the blood holds oxygen, so "oxygenated blood" carries O2 laden blood.
When oxgenated blood comes into the heart which chamber does it fill?
Oxygenated blood returning from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
Does the right ventricle have good or bad blood in it?
The right ventricle has deoxgenated blood in it if that is what you mean by "bad blood". The left ventrical has oxgenated blood in it, or what you mean by "good blood"
What are the blood vessels that direct blood to the heart?
Veins - return deoxygenated blood to the heart to be reoxygenated. In contrast to arteries that bring the oxgenated blood from the heart, to the rest of the body for use.
What us the function of the veins in the heart?
they take deoxygented blood from whole body towards the heart. the pulmonary vein pushes the oxgenated blood to the heart.
Does veins carry non-oxygenated blood from the capillaries toward the heart?
yes. veins carry de-oxygenated blood back from parts of the body towards the heart where it is pumped to the lungs. arteries carry oxgenated blood away from the heart towards parts of the body
What happens to the blood as it passes through the pulmonary capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is the difference between open and closes circulation?
in an open ciculatory system, the oxygented blood and the un-oxgenated blood mix, sending various amounts of both around the body. while in a closed one, the oxygenated blood and un-oxygenated blood are kept seperate(making sure that the body is always getting the best blood and is rejuvinating the bad blood)

Why is mixing of oxgenated blood and deoxygenated blood not possible as blood flows through the heart?
Oxygen-rich blood is transported in arteries and oxygen-poor blood is transported in veins, which are distinct collections of blood vessels and never meet. The oxygen in oxygen-rich blood diffuses through cell walls and powers the metabolism of cells, leaving oxygen poor blood behind to be collected by veins and transported to the heart and lungs for reoxygenation.
