lemmie just give you the whole story:
we breath in oxygen which goes to our lungs and diffuses into the blood in our pulmonary vein. this vein carries the oxygenated blood to the left atrium of our heart, then down to the left ventricle. This part of the heart is v. strong, as it then pumps the blood through the aorta to the muscles all over our body, which then take the oxygen to respire. From out body, the deoxygenated blood goes through the vena cava to the right atrium of our heart, then to the right ventricle that pumps that DEOXYGENATED blood up to the lungs to go all over again.
hope i helped :)

∙ 14y agoBecause all the oxygen has been used up by the different cells before it enters the right side of the heart forom leaving the left side of the heart with oxygen

What parts of the heart carry deoxygenated blood?
Simple answer: Veins Complex answer: a series of blood vessels (excluding arteries) carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. Where the blood is then passed through an oxygenating process with the lungs. Another answer: pressure caused by the beating of the 4 chamber heart.
What is the function of the pulmonary artery?
To carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs where it will be reoxygenated.
What is the function of the brachiocepahlic artery and vein?
The pulmonary arteries transport deoxygenated blood to the left and right lungs. And interesting fact is that the pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry deoxygenated blood. All other arteries deliver blood, enriched with oxygen and other nutrients to our body's What_is_the_function_of_the_pulmonary_artery. Conversely, the pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood from the left and right lungs to the heart, while all other veins carry deoxygenated blood and waste products.Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs.
Is the blood in arteries oxyenated or deoxygenated?
The blood in arteries is usually oxygenated because arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated (O2-poor) blood from the heart to the lungs so the blood can be oxygenated. Remember that arteries and veins are not defined based on whether they carry O2-rich or O2-poor blood but rather the direction they carry blood. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart.

Simple answer: Veins Complex answer: a series of blood vessels (excluding arteries) carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. Where the blood is then passed through an oxygenating process with the lungs. Another answer: pressure caused by the beating of the 4 chamber heart.
What are the blood vessels that Carry?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What are the vessels that carry deoxgenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
Which blood vessels carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
In the main, except from the pulmonary artery and vein. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and the vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What is the function of the pulmonary artery?
To carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs where it will be reoxygenated.
How does veins carry oxygenated blood while others carry deoxygenated blood?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the right atrium of the heart, which sends it through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle to the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs (to become oxygenated and get rid of waste gases) to the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle through the semilunar aortic valve to the ascending aorta to the aortic arch and out to the body. So the only veins that are oxygenated are the pulmonary veins that carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. They are still called veins because they carry blood TO the heart. Thus, the only deoxygenated blood in arteries is also the pulmonary arteries, because they carry the deoxygenated blood AWAY from the heart to the lungs. All veins must carry blood toward the heart and all arteries must carry blood away from the heart.
What is the function of the brachiocepahlic artery and vein?

What are the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs?
Pulmonary arteries.* Blood vessels are classified by whether they flow to or from the heart. The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs, and it is the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart, where it is pumped to the body.
Which blood vessel directly attached to the heart is the exception to the fact that most veins carry deoxygenated blood?
The Pulmonary Vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What carries good blood in your body?
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Systemic veins return deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body to the right atrium of the heart. Blood vessels carry blood from the heart to all areas of the body.
Most veins carry what kind of blood?
The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.
What do the arteries in the body do?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, whereas veins carry blood toward the heart. In general, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood. This is NOT the case for the pulmonary vein, which brings freshly oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart so that it can be distributed to the rest of the body.
