How are the circulatory system conneccted?
Circulatory system are connected by a network of arteries, veins and capillaries. They connect the body with heart. Inside the heart, various valves connect different chambers.
What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?
We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.
Where do the arteries go in the body?
Arteries carry blood from the heart to the cells of the body.
Do arteries carry the blood back to the heart from the body?
Veins carry the blood back to the heart from the body. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
What are the more highly advanced parts of a mammalian heart and brain?
It has 4 chambers so oxygenated blood from the lungs never mixes with deoxygenated blood from body tissues as it does in frogs that have only 3 chambers.
What separates the chambers and keeps the blood traveling in one direction?
The valves in the veins & arteries stop the blood flowing back along with the heart pumping & thus pushing the blood around the body. The inter-atrial & interventrical septum's separate the for chambers of the heart.
The only arteries in the body carry deoxigenated blood away from the heart are?
The only arteries in the body that move deoxygenated blood away from the heart are the pulmonary arteries. Arteries are blood vessels.
Where do arteries send blood to?
arteries send blood to the rest of the body, from the heart; viens send it back to the heart from the body.
How the arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from the other arteries in your body?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
Why are arteries found deep within the body and veins are found closer to the surface of the body?
arteries and veins are found throughout the body. arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry it to the heart
