left ventricle
Blood enters the left & right atria. Blood entering the left ventricle came from the left atrium.
Blood from the body enters the right atrium. From there it is pumped to the right ventricle, through the lungs, to the left atrium, to the left ventricle, then throughout the body. Then back to the right atrium...
Deoxygenated blood enters the heart via the superior and inferior vena cava.
Your heart pumps your blood, carrying blood cells, throughout the body.
Blood cells carrying carbon dioxide return to the heart through veins, specifically the superior and inferior vena cava. These veins transport the deoxygenated blood back to the right side of the heart, which then pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation.
The cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, is primarily responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells. Blood is pumped by the heart through arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and then returns to the heart through veins to be replenished.
arteries because they carry blood from the heart,carrying oxygen to the blood cells
The heart itself is an organ. The region of the heart that first accepts deoxygenated blood from the body, and from the heart itself, is the right atrium. Blood enters the right atrium via the superior and inferior vana cava, anterior cardiac veins, and the coronary sinus. ^ +Information confirmed. Source: Prentice Hall Biology Book; pg. 944.
The red blood cells carry the oxygen from the lungs round the body. The heart pumps the red blood cells to go around the body. When the oxygen is given to the cells, the red blood cells return to the heart and get pumped back to the lungs while carrying carbon dioxide.
Both! Blood enters the atria (upper chambers) on both sides of the heart at the same time. Blood from the body, carrying carbon dioxide, enters the right atrium. Blood from the lungs, carrying oxygen, enters the left atrium. The two atria contract together, pumping the blood into the two ventricles (lower chambers). The ventricles then contract, pumping blood out of the heart. Blood from the right ventricle goes to the lungs, where it loses its carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. It then goes to the left atrium. Blood from the left ventricle goes to the body, where it delivers oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/factfiles/heart/heart.shtml
When blood leaves the lungs through the pulmonary veins, it returns to the heart and enters the left ventricle.
Arteries helps in carrying oxygenated blood from heart to different tissues of body.
Oxygen-poor blood enters the heart through the right atrium
Oxygenated blood enters the left side of the heart (atria) via the pulmonary veins
