What organ of the body gets only oxygenated blood supply?

All respiring cells in our body need oxygen for respiration, so oxygenated blood has to travel all around the body in order to reach each of these cells.


What type of blood is usually transported in arteries?

Oxygenated blood with a high concentration of oxygen is usually transported in arteries. This blood is pumped by the heart to various parts of the body for distribution to tissues and organs.


Which circulation carries oxygenated blood to the body?

Arterial systemic circulation:arterial referring to the blood carried by arteriessystemic referring to the rest of the body (excluding the lungs and the heart itself).


What color is de oxygenated blood?

No. De-oxygenated blood is a dark red color. It may look blue in an anatomy and physiology text book, but the authors do that to show more clearly which blood vessels, usually veins, that carry de-oxygenated blood. That is why they color them blue. And then the arteries, which usually carry oxygenated blood, are colored red. In real life, your veins look blue because of the other tissues that have pigments in them that you have to look through to see your veins. Even though they appear on the outside to be blue, in fact, on the inside they are carrying deep dark red blood. Just look at the vial of blood the next time the nurse draws some for a test. You will see that it is dark red.


What is the vein that transports oxygenated blood to right atrium of the heart?

The vein that transports oxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart is the pulmonary vein. It carries freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for circulation to the rest of the body.

Is blood from the lungs oxygenated?

Blood carried by the pulmonary arteries is deoxygenated. Blood carried by the pulmonary veins is oxygenated.


What type of blood are the arteries responsible transporting?

Oxygenated blood is carried by all arteries but one which is the pulmonary artery


What kind of blood is carried by renal vein?

oxygenated blood


How is blood in the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?

It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.


What colour is the blood that is carried away from the heart?

Bright red blood because it is already oxygenated.


Does deoxygenated blood mean no oxygen blood?

Taken literally, deoxygenated means "without oxygen," but physiologically it means blood that has dropped its oxygen load to the tissues. There is still oxygen bound to hemoglobin in deoxygenated blood, just not as much as oxygenated blood.


Vein of the fetal pig that carries oxygenated blood?

There are two veins that carry oxygen they are the Pulmonary vein and the Umbilical vein:-)


What kind of blood is carried by the renal vein?

The renal vein carries deoxygenated blood from the kidneys to the heart.


What veil does oxygen blood come in and out?

Oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary vein. This vein transports blood from the lungs to the heart.


What do you call the blood that carries the waste carbon dioxide?

Blood. De-oxygenated blood carried wate to the lungs, Ut is still blood.


What blood in the artery is red because its rich in oxygen?

Blood which is being pumped out of the heart after being oxygenated by the air we breathe in.(its this oxygenated blood which is bright red) The oxygen carrier on the red blood cells, haemoglobin, is what transports the oxygen. As this oxygenated blood is carried round the body in the arteries, the oxygen diffuses. This darker, deoxygenated blood is then carried back to the heart by the vena cava. (a couple of veins transporting the blood from the upper and lower body). The heart pumps the deoxygenated blood (much darker in colour) to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated and the process starts again.
