- 1) the deoxygenated red blood cell travels back to the heart in the vena cava
- 2) it enters the right atrium
- 3) the right atrium contracts and pushes it through the tricuspid and into the right ventricle,
- 4) the right ventricle contracts and pushes it out of the heart through the semi lunar,
- 5) it travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs,
- 6) here it picks up oxygen,
- 7) it travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein,
- 8) it enters the left atrium,
- 9) the left atrium contracts and pushes it through the bicuspid and into the left ventricle,
- 10) the left ventricle contracts and pushes it through the semi lunar out of the heart and into the Aorta.
Only because the heart pumps so well.

Why red blood cells have to be so small?
so that they can fit through blood vessels
How blood and other materials get to the living cells inside the bone?
The bone is composed mostly of two types of bone tissue. Compact bone and Spongy bone. The spongy bone has hundreds of little pores, through which many blood vessels can pass. Also, there are specialized passages in the bone through which a main artery or vein can pass to provide the blood supply and transport the new blood cells
What is found with red blood cells in the blood vessels?
You will find plasma, white cells and platelets with red blood cells.
What do the capillaries carry to the body cells?
Capillaries are very thin blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients and hormones can pass through the walls of the capillaries and reach the body's cells, while red blood cells remain in the capillaries.
What is found within the red blood cells in the blood vessels?
Inside red blood cells is packed hemoglobin and not much else.
What cells move easily through blood vessels?
white blood cells
What the cause for theblood to flow through the blood vessels?
Blood doesn't flow through blood vessels, there are blood vessels in your blood known as red blood cells and white blood cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and the white help fight diseases.Your blood flows through a system of artries and viens.
How are blood cells and platelets transported through the body?
Blood cells and platelets are suspended in blood plasma (mostly water) and moved through the body in blood vessels (arteries, veins & capillaries). The blood is forced through the blood vessels by the heart.
Why red blood cells do not contain blood vessels?
Red blood cells are too small to contain blood vessels. They are cells and they travel in blood vessels.

Do blood vessels transport cells?
Yes. Blood vessels transport blood cells.
Why is blood pumped through blood vessels all over body?
Blood is pumped through blood vessels all over your body to clean your blood cells and mabye to give oxygen i think :D <3
Are the only blood cells that function entirely in blood vessels?
The only blood cells that function entirely within the blood vessels are red blood cells.
What blood vessels do nutrients pass through in order to reach the body's cells?
Capillaries
Does oxygen travel all around your body to your cells through your blood vessels?
yes
Can brain tumor cells transit through blood vessels?
Some can, not all. If the tumor contains cells that can it will metastasize.
