Do blood in the arteries travel away from the heart only it is oxygenated?
The lungs oxygenate blood, arteries simply carry oxygenated blood. But there is one exception to this rule. Arteries carry oxygenated blood in systemic circulation (blood circulation to the entire body excluding the lungs). In pulmonary circulation (blood circulation to the lungs), the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where it gets O2 and it transported back to the heart by the pulmonary vein.
How are arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from other arteries?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
What are the blood vessles that carry out blood from the heart to the body?
They are called arteries, while veins carry the blood back. the vessels that carry blood to/from your heart are arteries. the vessels that carry the blood around your body are veins and capillaries.
Which vessel transports blood from the heart to the lungs?
The vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs is called the pulmonary vein. It is one of the few veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart. The oxygenated blood enters the atrium of the heart.
What is the function of the arteries in the circulatory system?
The function of arteries is to take blood from the heart to parts of the body.There are two sets of arteries (relating to each side of the heart):-those that take blood from the heart to the lungs to be re-oxygenated; known as the pulmonary arteries. These are the only arteries that transport de-oxygenated blood.those that take blood from the heart to the rest of the body including the heart muscles so as to keep the heart going (known as the coronary arteries), to the brain (known as cerebral arteries) and all the muscles and skeleton. These arteries all transport oxygenated blood.Because the blood is under pressure as it leaves the heart and because this pressure needs to be maintained to ensure that the blood reaches the extremities of the body, arteries have thick, muscular walls.NOTE The function of veins is to return blood to the heart. Veins have thinner walls and have one way valves in them.

A gas that is transported in arteries from the lungs to the body by the heart?
The pulmonary artery takes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the heart to the lungs. Oxygen is then carried back to the heart by the pulmonary vein. Finally, the aorta/arteries carry oxygen to the body.

What are the ways oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported to the blood?
Air fills lungs, heart pumps non-oxygenated blood to the lungs via arteries where it becomes oxygenated flows back to the heart and flows through the body .....
