What chamber pumps low oxygen high carbon dioxide blood out of the heart back to the lungs?

The right ventricle pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide back to the lungs.


Where does the heart pump blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide?

The heart pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the lungs, where blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.


How is the left ventricle different from the right ventricle?

The heart is divided into four chambers, the right atrium and the right ventricle, and the left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood that is oxygen poor and high in carbon dioxide enters the heart through the right atrium and is then pumped out to go to the lungs via the right ventricle. The left atrium then pumps the newly oxygenated blood into the left ventricle, which then sends the blood to all parts of the body. So, in short, the right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs and the left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood to the whole body.


Does the left chambers carry blood without oxygen?

The right ventricle pumps unoxygenated blood to the lungs to acquire oxygens and release carbon dioxide. The blood is then returned to the heart via Pulmonary Veins to be pumped from the left ventricle to the tissues that need it in your body! :]


What pumps blood toward the lungs where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen?

Oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it through the walls of the capillaries which surround the alveoli in the lungs. It's not really correct to use terms like 'pump' and 'collect', as this is a simple process of diffusion.


Do the right and left side of the heart pump blood at the same time?

The right and left ventricles of the heart contract, or pump blood, at the same time. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood to the body.


What is the function of the l and r ventricle?

The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.


Why is the right ventricle not as strong as the left?

The left ventricle pumps blood to the head and the whole body. The right ventricle pumps blood only to the lungs so therefore a smaller workload. The myocardium (heart muscle) is thicker around the left ventricle to give it extra force to pump the blood over longer distances.


What part of the heart is responsible for the intake and oxygenation of blood?

The heart is the pump. It pumps the blood regardless of the oxygenation status of the blood. The right side of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated means from which the oxygen is taken away. The left side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood. Blood gets oxygen and gives away the carbon bi oxide in the lungs. Lungs are specialized organ system to perform the same function.


Does the right ventricle move blood around the systemic system?

No, the right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation. The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation.


What chamber pumps blood out of the heart?

The left ventricle is the heart chamber that pumps blood throughout the body. The right ventricle, in contrast, pumps blood to the lungs.


To what parts of the body the left ventricle pumps blood?

The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation, reaching all parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation, where the blood picks up oxygen.
