Really? You don't know? Well okay, it's oxygen if you must know.

Vessels carrying blood to the heart?
There are 2 or 3 methods for blood to return to the heart. The first method is by pressure. Enough pressure is generated in the heart to push the blood through the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, and back into the heart. The right side of the heart only pumps blood into the lungs and back to the heart and requires less pressure than the left side that pumps to the rest of the body, although the volume must be identical for the two halves. The second method is a pumping method by muscle contraction. This is especially true of the calf muscles in the leg pumping the blood back to the heart. A third method would be gravity for anything above the heart, including the head, or any limb that was elevated. Elevation can be used to decrease pressure and help reduce swelling.
What describes the next step after the blood has traveled from the heart to the toes?
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart except which artery?
The pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lung to be reoxygenated. The pulmonary vein then carries oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart to be pumped back to the rest of the body.
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
Which structures carry blood back to the heart?
The veins carries blood from the body to the heart.
What is the system of vessels carrying blood away from the heart and back to the heart?
The circulatory system
Why does dish soap make water and oil collide?
yes, Vessels carrying blood back to the heart are called veins, and the vessels carrying blood away from the heart to the body are called arteries.
What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?
We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.
What Sends blood to heart from lower body?
The inferior vena cava is the large vein carrying blood back from the lower body.

How does pulmonary circulation?
It is the flow of CO2-carrying blood from the right side of the heart, to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the left side of the heart for distribution throughout the body.
Why are there 2 separate sections of the heart?
We don't have any scientific explanation why the heart and circulatory system is the way it is, but we do know how it works. One side of the heart pumps blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the other side of the heart, getting rid of carbon dioxide and picking up oxygen. Then the other side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to every other part of the body and back to the heart again, getting rid of the oxygen and picking up carbon dioxide and other waste.
Do arteries carry blood back to the heart?
No, from the heart. The veins carry the blood back to the heart.
The aorta which Carrie’s oxygen rich blood from the heart to all parts of the body is a part of which circulation patheay?
Pulmonary Circulation Is Responsible For Carrying Oxygen-Poor Blood From The Heart To The Lungs And Returns Oxygen-Rich Blood Back To The Heart. The Oxygen-Rich Blood Then Enters The Systemic Circulation Which Is The Circuit Responsible For Bringing Oxygenated Blood From The Heart To The Rest Of The Body. In This Part Of The Worksheet, You Are To Trace The This problem has been solved! Pulmonary circulation is responsible for carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygen-rich blood
What are the Coronary arteries and veins for?
the coronary arteries feed oxygenated blood to the heart muscle where as the coronary veins take the deoxygenated blood back the heart.
Whats the advantage of the pulmanary veins location?
Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. This differentiates the pulmonary veins from other veins in the body, which are used to carry deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body back to the heart
How is the blood in the pulmonary veins different from blood in others veins?
You must learn that the term artery and vein are anatomical terms. Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. And veins bring blood back to the heart. Arteries are not always oxygen filled and veins are not always carbon dioxide filled. Since the pulmonary veins are carrying blood back from the lungs to the heart, they must have more oxygen.
