The circulatory system contains high pressure vessels called arteries which come from the heart and then the capillaries where gas and nutrient exchange ocurrs. From there veins form and they come back to pick up more. The veins are high volume but low pressure vessels. Arteries are lower volume and higher presure vessels.
See the video below for good information.

Which vessel contains blood with the lowest carbon dioxide content?
Lowest carbon dioxide content would be the vessel right after the lungs, pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
The lowest blood concentration of nitrogenous waste occurs in the?
renal vein
The condition called cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
oxygen Carbon Dioxide
Why does oxygen diffuse in and carbon dioxide diffuse out?
In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood that the capillaries carry due to a concentration gradient that exists there as oxygen conc is higher in the alveolar sacs than in the blood capillaries. Similarly carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood capillaries into the alveolar sacs down the concentration gradient. The constant flow of blood is there to ensure this concentration gradient is established at all times.
What blood vessel receives oxygen-rich blood from the heart and moves it into the body?
The large artery connected to the heart, called the Aorta.
How is oxygen taken in into the body tissue?
At the level of the capillaries, oxygen will diffuse out of the saturated red blood cells down their concentration gradient into the tissues where their concentration is lowest.
Which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest pressure?
Pulmonary arterial system has high pressure but low oxygen concentration.
What blood vessel has the lowest velocity?
capillaries
What kind of vessel has the lowest blood pressure?
veins
What blood vessel carries oxygen in blood?
pulmonary vein
What blood vessel carries oxygen or oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs?
pulmonary artery
One example of diffusion in the human body?
The lack of nutrients inside a cell compared to the blood vessel creates a concentration gradient between the blood vessel and the cell. Due to the lower concentration in the cell, the nutrients diffuse through the blood vessel wall and into the cell.
Is a vein a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells?
No, a Capillary is a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells.
Which blood vessel does blood oxygen pass through?
Oxygen and other gases pass through the capillaries.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.
Cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
Increased concentration of oxygen
What blood vessel supplies the heart itself with oxygen?
coronary blood vessels.......
