Technically, blood is always oxygenated to some degree. The capillaries are where the blood exchanges oxygen with the tissues so the blood entering the capillaries has more oxygen than the blood leaving the capillaries but under resting conditions venous blood is still 75% oxygenated.

From where does the blood get oxygen?

The blood gets oxygen from the lungs during the process of respiration. Oxygen is inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses into the bloodstream via tiny air sacs called alveoli. This oxygenated blood is then pumped by the heart to the rest of the body.


What adds oxygen to the blood annd remove carbon dioxide?

The lungs exchange oxygen from the air we breathe into the blood, while removing carbon dioxide. This process occurs through the tiny blood vessels in the lungs called capillaries, where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. The oxygenated blood is then carried to the rest of the body by the circulatory system.


What is a pulmonary cycle?

The pulmonary cycle refers to the movement of blood between the heart and the lungs for oxygenation. In this cycle, blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide. It is essential for the exchange of gases in the body to support cellular respiration.


Where do lungs get oxygen?

Lungs get oxygen from the air that is inhaled through the respiratory system. Oxygen molecules in the air are transferred from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream, where they are carried to cells throughout the body.


What is the pathway of oxygen through your body?

The oxygen enters the body via the nose and mouth then travels down the trachea ( wind pipe ) then breaks into two bronchi (the bronchi splits the air into each lung) which then branches into lots of bronchioles which end in lots of alvioli.

From where lungs collect oxygenated blood?

Simply put, the lungs don't get oxygenated blood. The lungs produced oxygenated blood by collected de oxygenated blood and expelling the carbon dioxide (breath out) and refilling with oxygen (breath in). This is a very simple and basic explanation but suffice to say that all this is made possible through tiny blood vessells which can absorb fresh oxygen and expel carbon dioxide via the lungs.


Deoxygenated blood travels away from the heart and toward the where it becomes oxygenated.?

What do the lungs control?

The lungs transfer oxygen from the air that you breath into your bloodstream. The heart then pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body.


What collects blood from the lungs?

Blood that has perfused the lungs and is now oxygenated collects into the pulmonary veins to travel back to the heart. Once reaching the heart, oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium. The left atrium collects blood from the lungs

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
