From what I've learned in A$P2 is that these blood vessels, the artery(red-like color) and the vein(blue-like color) both carries oxygenated blood throughout the body, but the artery carries the rich oxygenated blood which we need for our body, while the vein carries the poor oxygenated blood, along with carbon dioxide, back to the lungs to be cleaned.I hope this helps

Describe one similarity and one differences between the muscle tissue and the blood vessels you viewed with the microscope?
Muscle tissue and blood vessels both use fibroblasts, a precursor for the smooth muscle cells that stabilize the blood vessels. One difference is that the muscle tissue requires oxygenated blood in order to function.
Do veins have red blood cells?
For the most part arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry unoxygenated blood. (The one exception is the pulmonary artery and vein.) Oxygenated blood is a bright red color while deoxygenated blood is a dark red.
What type of blood are the arteries responsible transporting?
Oxygenated blood is carried by all arteries but one which is the pulmonary artery
Does the pulmonary trunk contain oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
De-Oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery is one of the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Which blood vessels carry deoygenated blood?
In all cases except one, veins carry deoxygenated blood. The exception is the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs. Veins ALWAYS carry blood to the heart.
Blood vessels that move toward and away from the heart are what?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart and arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. There is one exception however. Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart towards the lungs and pulmonary arteries carry oxygenated blood towards the heart.
A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart is called?
There are two types of vessels carrying blood away from the heart. The one which carries oxygen rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body is called AORTA, while the vessels carrying oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs are called pulmonary veins.
How are blood vessels connected to one another?
how are the blood vessels connected to one onother
What occurs in the capillaries?
Capillary exchange- exchange of gases- internal or tissue respiration
Are arterys blood vessels?
Yes, arteries are one of the blood vessels.
What do blood vessels do in the skin?
Blood vessels carry blood from one place to another.
Which vessel transports blood from the heart to the lungs?
The vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs is called the pulmonary vein. It is one of the few veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart. The oxygenated blood enters the atrium of the heart.
