The exchange of nutrients and oxygen does not take place in the heart. The exchange of oxygen takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and the exchange of nutrients takes place at numerous sites around the body, but the most predominant is the duodenum and ileum of the small intestine.

What is the organs in the circulatory system?
The Heart.... parts are: veins= oxygen poor blood arteries= oxygen rich blood capillaries= tubes that exchange nutrients between those two^^^
What makes the blood flow continuously throughout the body?
The heart pumps blood throughout the body to exchange nutrients/wastes and oxygen/carbon dioxide.
Does systemic circulation supply nutrients and oxygen to the heart?
no
What supplies oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium of the heart?
Blood
In which blood vessels does the exchange of oxygen and food nutrients and waste materials from the blood take place?
Capillary.capillariesCapillaries.Blood flow moves from arteries, to arterioles, to capillaries, to venules, to veins, to the heart, and then back to arteries. Capillaries are where the exchange of oxygen and other materials happens.Capillaries
What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?
Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
What type of blood does the coronary artery deliver to the heart?
The coronary artery delivers oxygenated blood to the heart. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
What tissue is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients through the body?
No one tissue does this, it is the cardiovascular (heart and blood) system that transports oxygen and other nutrients.
Does the heart get oxygen and nutrients from the blood flowing through it?
no. it gets it from the lungs
Which organ delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body?
Blood carries the oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of our bodies.
What does O2 and nutrients deliever to the myocardium by what?
The myocardium receives its oxygen and nutrients from the coronary arteries, which lie on the outside of the heart.
3 organs that transport oxygen and nutrients to body?
The liver, the heart and the lungs.
