Where is the blood cleaned in the heart?
blood is filtered in the kidney and infact, lungs (CO2)
What does the aorta do?
The Aorta channels the blood out of the heart and into the bloodstream after it has been oxygenated.
Why are pulmonary arteries called arteries?
It is called a artery because arteries are vessels that stem from the heart and deliver blood to the organs. The pulmonary artery is still an artery, even though it carries deoxygenated blood, because it is coming from the heart to the lungs.Veins collect blood from organs and transport it back to the heart. Veins do not have a pulsating pressure, while arteries do, because arteries are still feeling the rhythmic push from the heart.Arteries carry blood away from the heart. They usually contain oxygen rich blood, except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.Veins carry blood to the heart. They usually contain deoxygenated blood, but the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood (because they're coming from the lungs).
What does arteries mean?
The arteries are the blood vessels that generally carry oxygenated blood from the heart around the body. 'Arteries' comes from the Greek 'arteria', which means windpipe. People in ancient times believed the arteries were empty, containing only air. If someone had been killed due to blood loss, the arterial pressure would have causes the arteries to drain, which is why they may have looked empty on examination.
To which side of the heart does oxygenated blood return from the lungs?
The right side of the heart deals with de-oxgenated blood which is taken to the lungs by the pulmonary artery. The left side of the heart deals with the oxygenated blood which has been brought from the lungs by the pulmonary vein.

What kind of blood is carried by the renal artery and renal vein?
The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, and the renal vein carries blood that has been purified by the kidney.
What does the aorta do?
The Aorta channels the blood out of the heart and into the bloodstream after it has been oxygenated.
Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs, to the left atrium of the heart.
Which blood vessel carries blood away from heart?
The Aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart for delivery around the body. The Pulmonary artery carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenating. Hope this helps.
How blood and blood vessel works together?
Your blood vessels carry water and food out to all the cells or parts of your body. Blood vessels are flexible and stretch. When your heart beats the blood is pushed into your arteries is carries the good stuff around to the places in your body that needs it, then the left over slowly fills the veins that carries it back, taking the wastes and stuff to be cleaned by the kidneys and liver and to get more good stuuf like oxygen from your lungs or food that has been absorbed through your stomach. Also the high part of your blood pressure reading is when the blood whooshes through your vein as the heart beats and the low part is when the heart is relaxed and the doctor can tell if your veins and heart are doing a good job by watching these numbers over time.
How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?
The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
What veins carry oxygenated blood?
The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.

What transports oxygen throughout the body?
Red blood cells.Red blood cells (erythrocytes): they contain hemoglobin which carries the oxygen
To get to the heart what does blood flow through?
Blood flows through veins to get to the heart. Arteries are blood vessels for the blood to leave the heart once it has been oxygenated.
Why are pulmonary veins red?
An artery is a vessel that carries blood out of the heart, into the tissues. A vein is a vessel that carries blood from the tissues back to the heart. The fact that arteries carry oxygenated blood exclusively and veins, solely deoxygenated blood is not true. Our blood is oxygenated in the tissues of our lungs, so the vessels that bring this fresh, oxygenated blood from these tissues back to our heart are called... pulmonary veins! It's just a matter of vocabulary.AnswerBlood coming from the pulmonary veins is oxygenated because it is coming from the lungs, the site of gas exchange.
