∙ 15y agoArteries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry deoxygenated blood. However, there is a naming problem with the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins -- they are backward. The pulmonary arteries carry the blood from the heart to the lungs, and the pulmonary veins carry the blood back from the lungs to the heart. So the answer to your question is that the oxygenated blood first returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins, passes through the left atrium, past the AV valve, into the left ventricle, and out through the aortic valve into the ascending aorta. From there the oxygenated blood flows to every organ in the body, exchanging O2 of CO2 at the capillaries.

∙ 11y agoAs blood leaves the heart it travels through the arteries. The first one will be either the pulmonary artery (for blood leaving the right side of the heart) or the aorta (for blood leaving the left side of the heart).

What is the main arterys job in the body?
Arteries transport Oxygenated blood from the heart all over the body. They carry blood away from the heart. They have thick lumens because the blood inside them is under great pressure as it is pumped away from the heart.
Do arteries lead from the heart or to the heart?
For the most part, yes. A vein carries blood to the heart and an artery carries blood away from the heart. Therefore, the vessel from the heart to the lungs is an artery, even though it is unoxygenated, and the vessel from the lungs to the heart is a vein, even though it is oxygenated.
Which vessels carry blood away from the heart- vain or arteries?
Pulmonary arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart.
Why does the pulmonary artery bring blood to the heart when all the other arteries carry blood away from the heart?
It does not. Arteries bring blood away from the heart and veins bring blood to the heart. In the case of the pulmonary artery, it takes un-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Oxygenated blood from the lungs is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries or veins?
It depends. The blood that is being carried away from to the body is oxygenated blood and the blood that is being carried away from the heart and heading towards the lungs is called deoxgenated blood. OXYGENATED blood has a high percentage of oxygen and deoxygenated blood has a low percentage of oxygen.
Deoxygenated blood travels away from the heart and toward the where it becomes oxygenated.?

Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?

What arteries carry blood to the body or away from the body?
