Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich blood or oxygen poor blood?
poor
The blood gains its oxygen in which part of the body?
The blood gets oxygen in the heart. Once the oxygen has been replenished, the blood is sent back out to the organs.
What Carries oxygen-rich blood around your body?
The simplest answer is "arteries," which generally carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body, but the pulmonary veins also carry oxygen-rich blood. The lungs have oxygen that gives oxygen to the cells. Our body is a closed system so the blood never leaves the body system unless we are cut. After the blood has used up all of the oxygen it has the blood is recirculated through the heart and lungs once more! Thus this process goes on and on! An ARTERY carries oxygen rich or oxygenated blood from the heart to the body cells to give oxygen to them. I remember this by: Artery Away Arteries carry oxygen rich blood from the lungs to other parts of the body. Veins return oxygen poor blood to the heart where it gets recirculated through the lungs and then throughout the body again. The arteries.
How do you prevent passing out during a blood test?
Request to lie down during blood test.
Why you inhale oxygen only?
when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium
Is your blood blue or is it your veins?
Veins are blue because the blood is poor in oxygen, arteries are red because the blood is rich in oxygen.
Why is movement of the blood important in terms of oxygen passing into the blood from the lungs?
Oxygen is needed by every cell of the body for respiration to release energy. The blood carries the oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
How does smoking damages cells of the lungs?
Smoking coats the cell surfaces with tar, interfering with the passing of oxygen into the bloodstream and the passing out of impurities from the blood.
What jobs the blood does for the body?
It flows round the body, passing blood through your body. It goes through the vessels, collects oxygen and lets the oxygen go in the cirlculation system. :)

What is the medical term meaning absence of oxygen from inspired gases arterial blood or tissue?
Anoxia is the medical term meaning absence of oxygen. an/ox/ia without/oxygen/condition of
How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
What would happen if an abnormality in the blood circulation made the blood go to the heart without passing through the lungs?
You would die because blood wouldn't collect oxygen
How does the capacity of the blood vessels change?
The largest arteries are closest to the heart, passing blood to smaller arteries, and then again to even smaller arteries, until finally passing blood in a single file line through the capillaries which allow the nutrients and oxygen to seep out and nourish the organs and tissue.
Explain why the blood that enterss the right side of the heart appears bluish in color compared to the blood passing through the left champer?
Blood that is blue in appearance has no oxygen supply to it, as it has been absorbed by the body's cells. Blood passing through the left chamber has a fresh supply of oxygen, thus it is red. *Think: when you cut yourself and bleed, you expose yound wound to air, thus you bleed red. Hope this helps! :)
If a person had too much blood passing throuh the alveolar capilaries and not enough alveolar gas to provide oxygen to the blood what would you observe?
Systemic hypoxia -- the overall insufficiency to accumulate enough oxygen (and nitrogen too, but that's inert).
Where does the blood collects after passing the gills of a fish?
It circulates the body distributing the oxygen picked up in the gills and collecting carbon di-oxide to exchange in the gills for more oxygen.
