Arteries carry red blood cells (along with other cells) away from the heart. These red blood cells contain hemoglobin which helps to transfer the oxygen itself.

What does the heart do for the brain?
the heart supplies blood to the brain and every other part of the body, and the blood carries oxygen which is consumed to power your body
What does the aorta to the lower body do?
The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to all parts of the body except to the lungs. Oxygen-poor blood is carried to the lungs from the heart through the pulmonary artery.
What is the vessel leaving the heart with low oxygen?
The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.
What circuit carries blood to the body except the lungs for oxygenation and back to the heart?
There are two circuits: Pulmonary-carries blood to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic-carries blood from the body and back to the heart
Does blood come from the heart have a high or a low level of oxygen?
All blood coming from the heart travels through arteries but not all have high levels of oxygen.The blood that goes to the body is high in oxygen but the blood that goes to the lungs is low in oxygen.There it drops of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen and carries this back to the heart to be pumped out to the body.
What carries the blood from the heart?
Well, blood is not carried. Blood, or blood cells, carry oxygen to and from the heart, spreading it throughout the body. Blood basically carries oxygen, and it itself is not carried.
It carries food and gas for the body cells?
blood oxygen meter
What does the heart does to the blood?
pump the blood throw the body
Which blood vessel carries oxygen-rich blood to the body?
Pulmonary veins and systemic arterial system.
What is the main artery leaving the heart that carries blood to the body?
The aorta is the largest; it takes oxygenated (oxygen rich) blood from the heart to the body.
Large blood vessel that carries oxygen rich blood to the body?
Aorta is the main and largest artery. It carries blood out of the heart from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
Which chemical in your blood carries oxygen?
haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood
What does the heart do for the brain?
the heart supplies blood to the brain and every other part of the body, and the blood carries oxygen which is consumed to power your body
What carries carry oxygen rich blood from the heart to the body?
Arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
What does each part in the circulatory system do?
The heart pumps blood containing oxygen to the body and blood without oxygen to the lungs. The blood vessels carry the blood to and from the heart and body. The blood carries oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, hormones to maintain normal body functions.
What is the blood vessel that carries oxgen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary veins are high in oxygen and carry blood to the heart. The heart will then pump it to the rest of the body.
Why is the pulmonary vein the onley oxygen-rich vein in your body?
Veins and arteries are not classified by whether they carry oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor blood. They are classified according to whether they carry blood to the heart or away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart. So the pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart, which is why it is a vein. Also, the pulmonary artery, which carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs is an artery because it carries blood away from the heart.
