Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood into the heart.
Blood moving from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery has less oxygen than blood moving from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary vein, but most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood with little carbon dioxide, and most veins carry deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide and other wastes.

How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged between the veins and arteries?
Plants give us oxygen we give them carbon dioxide.
What takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
Pulmonary arteries
What do pulmonary arteries transport?
oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to get more oxygen and to release unneeded carbon dioxide for the lungs to remove
What type of blood is in the pulmonary arteries?
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
Why does the veins contain more carbon dioxide than the artery?
Here is how it works.You breathe in oxygen, the blood around your lungs picks up that oxygen and goes to your heart (left part) which pumps it to your entire body.As the blood gives oxygen to your tissues, your tissues give carbon dioxide in return because it is a waste product that you need to get rid of.This blood then returns to your heart (the right part) so that it would be pumped back to the lungs where it gives off the carbon dioxide (which is exhaled by your lungs) and takes a new dose of oxygen so the cycle begins again.Therefore your heart functions in 2 ways simultaneously, it pumps blood that has oxygen to your body, and blood that has no oxygen (but has carbon dioxide) to your lungs.
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged between the veins and arteries?
Plants give us oxygen we give them carbon dioxide.
Does exhaled air contain more carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
What contain two main gases in earth gas?
oxygen/ carbon dioxide oxygen/ carbon dioxide
What elements compose carbon dioxide?
one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, CO2 carbon and oxygen
At the peak of the inspiratory phase the alveoli contain how much of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
More oxygen than carbon dioxide.
How amny elemnts are there in CO2?
Carbon dioxide contain carbon and oxygen.
What two gases are exchange among arteries veins and capillaries?
oxygen and carbondioxide
Why are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are not example of organic chemistry?
An organic compound must contain both carbon and hydrogen. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide contain carbon an oxygen, but not hydrogen.
What gas is carried by most arteries?
Oxygen. The pulmonary artery carries carbon dioxide instead.
What takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
Pulmonary arteries
Which molecules involved in photosynthesis and respiration contain carbon?
Carbon dioxide in cellular respiration CO2 And in photosynthesis Oxygen
What does the air around earth contain?
nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
