Where does the blood go after it picks up oxygen?
After picking up oxygen in the lungs, blood travels to the heart's left side and is pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta. From there, the oxygenated blood circulates through the body's arteries, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs.
Where do oxygen rich blood go after leaving the lungs?
Oxygen-rich blood leaves the lungs through the pulmonary veins and is transported to the left side of the heart. From there, it is pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta and the systemic circulation to provide oxygen to tissues and organs.
Where does the blood go when it doesn't carry oxygen?
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins, specifically the superior and inferior vena cavae. From there, it is pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen before being circulated to the rest of the body.
What Causes blood oxygen saturation levels to go down?
Blood oxygen saturation levels can decrease due to various reasons such as lung diseases like pneumonia or asthma, high altitude, heart conditions, anemia, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Other factors like smoking, obesity, and certain medications can also affect oxygen saturation levels.
Where does the oxygen go once it is in the blood?

What organ converts blood from oxygen-rich to oxygen-poor?
oxygen rich blood gets pumped out of your heart to your arteries which carries the blood to your muscles. then your muscles use the oxygen. oxygen poor blood goes into your veins to go back into your heart. then it goes through a cycle that takes your blood to your lungs, to get oxygen. this process is repeated.
What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?
Yes, the blood from the lungs is rich in oxygen. Since you breathe in oxygen and nutrients through your nose/mouth to the lungs, the oxygen and nutrients are absorbed in the lungs and go through the blood stream into the heart
What moves blood to and from the lungs where oxygen poor becomes oxygen rich blood?
blood flows through your body through the pumping of your heart. however on your red blood cells are hemoglobin which holds oxygen.when your blood cells go through your cells...the hemoglobin picks up the oxygen poor blood and deposits it at your lungs (to be realeased thru exhaling) and get oxygen rich blood (from inhaling)
What carries blood toward the heart and have thinner walls?
The 2 modes of blood transport are the veins and arteries. The way I use to remember is A is for away, so therefor arteries take blood away from the heart and veins go to the heart. Veins NORMALLY carry oxygen poor blood & Arteries NORMALLY carry oxygen rich blood
The blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood away from the heart?
Major arteries like the aorta transfer oxygenated blood from the heart to the body tissues.Coronary arteries are those branches from the major aorta that feed the heart with oxygenated blood.Arteries are the vessels which carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, except for the pulmonary artery, which is the only artery (besides umbilical arteries inside of a fetus) that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart into the lungs.The thing that carries oxygen in your blood is the protein hemoglobin.Arteries always carry blood away from the heart. Veins always carry blood back to the heart. Not all arteries carry high O2 blood. Not all veins carry low O2 blood. They are named for where they go not what they carry.
From the heart where does the oxygen bearing blood go?

How does blood flow through the lungs throughout the body?
Blood is pumped by the heart. Blood leaves the heart via the arteries and returns to the heart via the veins. Blood returning to the heart goes to the lungs where it is oxygenated then pumped around the arteries
Where does oxygen-poor blood go to become oxygen-rich?
Gas exchange occurs in the vessels of the lungs
What organ must blood go through in order to come back to the heart oxygenated?
Your heart gives oxygen to blood cells, then those carry oxygen throughout your body, and when they reach your heart again, it refills them with oxygen.
What would happen if you didnt have capillaries?
If we didn't have capillaries, we would die. This is because CAPILLARIES are the passageways between the arteries (carrying oxygen- rich blood AWAY from the heart) and the Veins (carrying oxygen- poor blood back INto the heart). Capillaries come in close contact with the body's organs. They exchange their oxygen- rich blood (provided by the arteries) with the organ's oxygen- poor blood (containing carbon dioxide). Thus, the body's organ supply of oxygen- rich blood is replenished. Then, the capillaries give their oxygen- poor blood (from the organs) to the Veins, which bring the blood back to the heart, so it can be filled with oxygen again. It's all a big cycle, and our capillaries play a big role in this cycle. The heart, blood, and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and CAPILLARIES) are all a part of the amazing Cardiovascular System! (Also known as Circulatory system) We really need those Capillaries !! So... What would happen, you ask? Well, the blood in the arteries an the blood in the veins would mix. That is very bad. Our body could not survive if oxygen-rich blood and oxygen- poor blood mixed. We have the capillaries to ensure they never interact!!
Where does oxygen rich blood go after leaving the blood?
After the lungs the blood goes to the heart. The heart then pumps the blood around the body via the arteries to where the oxygen is needed. The veins return the blood, with oxtgen removed, to the lungs where it can be oxygenated again.
How do the walls of the heart receive a blood supply in order to stay healthy?
the heart receives glucose and oxygen in the blood pumped through
