Why does oxygen go from the lungs to the blood vessels and not from the blood vessels to the lungs?

The energy broken down from the oxygen is transported into throughout the body by blood vessels. That energy is dropped of at what ever part of the body needs it, and the blood vessel goes back to the lungs for more.

Where does oxygen-poor blood go to become oxygen-rich?
Gas exchange occurs in the vessels of the lungs
What blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to cells?
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
Where does blood go to get oxygen?
The lungs.
Why does the blood have to go to the lungs?
to receive oxygen
7 Why are blood vessels so close to the frogs sub surface skin?
The frog's skin has many small blood vessels so that oxygen can go through the thin skin, through the fine blood vessels, and into the blood stream, allowing for the frog to breathe more easily.
Why does the blood go to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries?
The pulmonary arteries function to deliver blood to the lungs to acquire oxygen. In the process of respiration, oxygen diffuses across capillary vessels in lung alveoli and attaches to red blood cells in the blood. The now oxygen-rich blood travels through lung capillaries to pulmonary veins.
Where does oxygen rich-blood go after leaving the lungs?
After the lungs the blood goes to the heart. The heart then pumps the blood around the body via the arteries to where the oxygen is needed. The veins return the blood, with oxtgen removed, to the lungs where it can be oxygenated again.
Where does blood go AFTER it leaves the pulmonary arteries?
Blood leaves the pulmonary artery and travels into the lungs. In the lungs the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
How does the body use the heart's blood vessels?
The blood vessels are the tubes that carry the blood to and from the heart. They could be likened to the "plumbing pipes" in a house. These blood vessels, through which the blood flows, are called arteries, veins, and capillaries.The heart acts as a pump to push the blood through the blood vessels. Arteries carry oxygenated blood and nutrients from the heart to the body's tissues, while veins carry the "used" blood from the body tissues back to the heart.The heart then pumps the used blood to go through the lungs again to pick up more oxygen. When the lungs fill the blood with oxygen again, the heart pumps the oxygenated blood through the arteries back out to the body organs and tissues. This circle of blood from the heart to the lungs and out to the body then back to the heart and lungs and so on, is called "circulation". The heart and blood vessels are called the circulatory system. The tiny blood vessels called capillaries, that reach into the tissue in smaller and smaller branches, are also a part of the circulatory system.The circulatory system is called the cardiovascular system in medical terminology. "Cardio" means heart and "vascular" means blood vessels.
What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?
Yes, the blood from the lungs is rich in oxygen. Since you breathe in oxygen and nutrients through your nose/mouth to the lungs, the oxygen and nutrients are absorbed in the lungs and go through the blood stream into the heart
Where does oxygen rich blood go after leaving the blood?
After the lungs the blood goes to the heart. The heart then pumps the blood around the body via the arteries to where the oxygen is needed. The veins return the blood, with oxtgen removed, to the lungs where it can be oxygenated again.
How does oxygen from the lungs get into the blood?
How does oxygen get from the lungs into the blood?"The red blood cells go to your lungs and they receive the oxygen you breathe in and take it all around the body and then you exhale which is when the blood returns back to the lungs.you are probably in Mr. Good's class or is getting the Circulatory System packet that is part of the Life Science textbook.
