Deoxygenated blood leaves the right side of heart via the Pulmonary Artery (the only artery in the body to carry oxygenated blood) and enters the capillaries surrounding the alveoli of the lungs, here it becomes Oxygenated by diffusion. The newly Oxygenated blood then re-enters the heart on the left side via the Pulmonary vein (the only vein in the body to carry Oxygenated blood) and is pumped out the Aorta to the bodies cells and organs. Capillaries surrounding these exchange materials, oxygen into the cell and Carbon Dioxide out. The blood is now classed as "deoxygenated" and contains a significant amount more Carbon Dioxide than the oxygenated blood. This blood is then returned to the right side of the heart via the Vena Cava ready to start the cycle again. The fact that the blood is pumped heart to lungs, heart to body makes it very efficient. This is known as a Double Circulatory System.

∙ 12y agoIt circulates through the body in the arteries, provides oxygen to the cells, takes carbon dioxide from the cells, returns through the veins, goes through the lungs where the carbon dioxide is expelled and oxygen is inspired, then returns to the heart, where it provides oxygen to the heart cells before it starts the whole cycle again.

How many blood vessels leaves the heart?
The blood leaves the heart through the aorta and then travels through the body via various branches of the vascular system
After blood leaves the heart through what kinds of vessels in what order does blood move?
larger blood vessels called veins which carry the blood back to the heart
In the heart which Sid dose the depleted blood enter and leave?

When blood cells leave the heart what vessel do they travel through?
Blood leaves the heart through two vessels: going to the lungs, it leaves through the pulmonary artery, and going to the rest of the body, it leaves through the aorta.
