Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
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 viens leads to the heart?
Pulmonary veins. Arteries lead away from the heart.
Do arteries lead from the heart or to the heart?
For the most part, yes. A vein carries blood to the heart and an artery carries blood away from the heart. Therefore, the vessel from the heart to the lungs is an artery, even though it is unoxygenated, and the vessel from the lungs to the heart is a vein, even though it is oxygenated.
How does the heart contribute to the human body?
Blood return to the right atrium of the heart through the superior and inferior vena cavae. Blood then travels to the right ventricle and leaves the heart through the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary veins lead to the lungs where blood is oxygenated. Oxygenated blood returns the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary veins. Then blood travels to the left ventricle and leaves through the aorta. === ===
To what structures fo the pulmonary arteries lead?
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs to be oxygenated.
What two structures do the pulmonary arteries lead to?
the two pulmonary arteries lead to hogwarts and narnia.
To what structures do the pulmonary arteries lead?
The right ventricle.

Pulmonary veins. Arteries lead away from the heart.
What vessel carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary veins carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.*Because blood vessels are classified by whether they lead into or away from the heart, the pulmonary veins are the only veins in adults that are carrying oxygenated blood, whereas the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
What is the path of blood from the left ventricle to the brain?
Blood vessels that supply the brain are the two carotid arteries and the two vertebral arteries.- From the left ventricle, blood flows into the aorta and the common carotid arteries supply the frontal portion of the brain through the inner carotid arteries, which lead to blood vessels such as the three pairs of cerebral arteries (anterior, middle, posterior).- From the left ventricle, blood flows from the arch of the aorta into the paired subclavian arteries, and then to the vertebral arteries, which supply the rear and lower parts of the brain through the basilar artery (which ends at the posterior cerebral arteries).* Within the brain, cross-connections between these arteries (called the Circle of Willis) provide some redundancy should any of the arteries become severed or blocked.
Does the pulmonary vein contain oxygen poor blood?
Yes. After the right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs (through the pulmonary arteries), the pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium of the heart.Because blood vessels are classified by whether they lead into or away from the heart, the pulmonary veins are carrying oxygenated blood, whereas the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Do arteries carry oxygenated blood back to the heart?
The heart is broken up into left and right halves. The left side (when looking at it from the front as if an observer) pumps unoxygenated blood through the capillaries of the lungs where it becomes oxygenated and then back around to the right side of the heart. This is called pulmonary circulation. The right side of the heart then pumps the oxygenated blood to all the various tissues of the body. Here the tissues take in the oxygen and the now deoxygenated blood is brought back to the left side of the heart to begin the cycle again. This portion of the cycle is called systemic sirculation. In both cases. The arteries are the high pressure blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to its ultimate destination. The lungs in the pulmonary circulation and the different body tissues in the systemic circulation. The veins then carry the blood back to the heart. Therefore arteries cannot be classified as oxygenated or unoxygenated because the arteries of pulmonary circulation are unoxygenated while the arteries of the systemic circulation are oxygenated. Arteries instead are classified as high pressure blood vessels flowing AWAY from the heart while veins pump blood back towards the heart.
What are the three different types of blood vessels called?
Blood vessels transport blood on a non-stop journey from the heart to the tissues and back to the heart. The heart pumps blood into arteries which branch into arterioles which lead to capillariesthat merge into venules which merge into veins.join and make a account this is fun :D :]lolthis is funhahaha laugh or else
Do arteries lead from the heart or to the heart?
For the most part, yes. A vein carries blood to the heart and an artery carries blood away from the heart. Therefore, the vessel from the heart to the lungs is an artery, even though it is unoxygenated, and the vessel from the lungs to the heart is a vein, even though it is oxygenated.
