What do veins arteries and capillaries do?
Arteries take blood from the heart to the cells of the body. Capillaries take the blood to the individual cells to give them food and oxygen. They then take Carbon Dioxide and waste away from the cells. Veins then take blood from the capillaries back to the heart. The Heart then sends blood through another artery to the lungs. It goes through different capillaries to get rid of Carbon Dioxide and pick up Oxygen. Then it goes through another vein back to the heart. From the heart, it goes back to the starting point.During the process, some of the blood going to the cells of the body goes through the kidneys to get rid of wastes. Some goes through the liver to get rid of different wastes and to pick up food from the intestines. Some goes to muscles. Some goes to the brain. Some feeds the heart so it can pump blood.veins,artery,capillaries.
What happen to the speed of blood as it flows through the capillaries?
This isn't a definite answer but blood probably goes slower when it travels through capillaries, this is probably because it is basically being filtered.
How does oxygen move from the capillaries to cells?
Through diffusion. There is less oxygen in the cells as opposed to the capillaries, so through simple diffusion, the oxygen goes from an area of high concentration to lower concentration.
What takes place as the blood goes through the capillaries?
The oxygen and other nutrients in the blood diffuse into the cells through osmosis, and then wastes and other harmful chemicals are diffused out.
Do arteries return blood from the capillaries to the heart cells?
this question is all mixed up. you must understand that blood leave the heart and goes to the body by travelling through the arteries(except the pulmonary artery) then is distributed to individual cells by the arteries then goes back to the heart through the veins(except the pulmonary vein). so in the case of the heart cells, blood accesses the heart through the coronary artery, goes to the individual cardiac muscle cells by the capillaries and and then back to the hearth through to coronary vein.
From Where does blood flow to the capillaries and where the blood flows further into?
the oxygenated blood flows from arteries to capillaries and after the exchange of material in capillaries and tissues it goes to vein and veins carries this deoxygenated blood to heart.
How does blood leave the kidney?
Goes into the capillaries then to the vein
What are the body parts that carry blood?
The circulatory system!! First the blood is in the heart, then it goes to the capillaries, then it goes through the veins and back to the heart!! The arteries take the blood away from the heart. The capillaries deliver nutrients and oxygen to our body cells. The veins take blood bake to the heart, where it is renewed.
How does the cleaned blood leave the kidney?
Goes into the capillaries then to the vein
What is blood carried to the heart by?
Unoxygenated blood travels to the heart though the veins to be pumped to your lung capillaries. At you lung capillaries the blood becomes oxygenated and then goes back to the heart to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of your body. the capillaries blood travels though you arteries.
What blood type of blood do vein usually carry?
The type of blood that goes though the Veins, Arterys and Capillaries is known as Red Blood Cell, which are also known as Oxygentated Cells.
What fluid leaks out of capillaries?
go to the body cells, after that it returns to the capillaries, but the fluid that doesn't diffuses into the lymph vessels (when it goes into the lymphatic vessels it's called lymph) and goes back to the heart.
