When ever the arteries take oxygen rich blood to your muscles, the muscles take the oxygen out to use it to create energy. The oxygen deficient blood is taking back to the heart through the veins, then taken back to the lungs to extract oxygen again

What gas is transported in the arteries from the lungs to the rest of the body via the heart?

Microscopic vessels that carry blood from small arteries to small veins are?

What kind of artery that supplies blood?
Radial arteries for each arm, but each finger as a pair of digital arteries.
In which direction do arteries carry blood twoards or away from the heart?
Arteries take blood from the heart to the body. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that enable substance exchange between the blood and the body tissues. Veins carry blood back to the heart.
How are capillaries differ from veins and arteries?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart to body tissues. Capillaries are present near almost every body cell, and they are known as exchange vessels because they permit the exchange of nutrients and wastes between the body's cells and the blood. Veins are the blood vessesl that convey blood from the tissues back to the heart.
Capillaries connect what?
Capillaries connect small arteries to small veins. Capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
Why would you die if you do not breathe?
If you do not breathe the blood in your veins and arteries can not flow. The exchange of CO2 and oxygenated blood can not mix and exchange in the heart. The gas from CO2 will suffocate you and you will die.
Which blood vessel carries blood?
Veins, Arteries (Capillaries are also blood vessels, but the main job is gas exchange).
What are the tiny tubes that carry blood?
Capillaries are the tiniest blood vessels. They are the site of gas exchange and connect veins and arteries.
What does the threeoof blood tubes and what do they do?
The three types of blood tubes are arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood to the heart. Capillaries connect small arteries to small veins, and are the site of gas exchange.
What are examples of arterioles?
There isnt exactly specific arterioles because every conduction system of Arteries flow from Elastic arteries -> muscular arteries -> arterioles. Arterioles are the smallest of the arteries and produce the greatest vascular resistance of blood. The blood then passes onto capillaries for gas/waste/nutrient exchange.
What are microscopic thinned TUBES that carry blood called?
Capillaries are the tiniest of the blood vessels. They connect veins and arteries, and are the site of gas exchange.
What happens to oxygen after gas exchange?
the oxygen is taken into your blood and transported around your body in your veins and arteries. visit StarburstSammy youtube page
What are capillaries and what are their functions?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins. They are the site of gas, waste, and nutrient exchange between the blood and the body tissues.
What are the three main types of blood vessels in the body?
Arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body, veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the lungs, and capillaries are sources of gas exchange - carbon dioxide for oxygen.
What is the name for the tiny tubes that carry blood?
Capillaries are the tiny tubes that carry blood. These vessel connect small arteries to small veins, and are the site of gas exchange.
What blood vessel connects the artery and vein?
The capillaries are the blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. Capillaries are the site of gas exchange in the body.
