More, not less. Oxygen is moved into the arteries by the lungs and pumpled by the heart through the body. As the cells use the arterial oxygen they create carbon dioxide as a byproduct of metabolism. This waste is sent to the veins where the heart pumps it back to the lungs to be exhaled with the breath.
What else can I help you with?
What contains more oxygen veins or arteries and why?
arteries is the oxygenated
Is the veins or the arteries richer in oxygen?
arteries because they carry blood from the heart,carrying oxygen to the blood cells
What statement is true of arteries?
Arteries carry blood with oxygen to the heart. Veins carry blood full of carbon dioxide to the lungs. Arteries have a thick wall. Veins have a thin wall. Arteries have no valves. Veins have valves.
What are ten differences between arteries and veins?
well here is one: Veins- oxygen-poor blood that is returning to the heart Arteries- oxygen-rich blood that is going to the cells
What is the defiance between veins and arteries?
i think you mean difference so: Veins- oxygen-poor blood that is returning to the heart Arteries- oxygen-rich blood that is going to the cells
What are facts about veins and arteries?
If you gather all the veins and arteries together in your body, then it could wrap around the earth, twice!There are some veins and arteries that are smaller than a price of your hair!
How does the direction blood travels in arteries and veins differ?
the blood in the arteries in oxygenated and is flowing away from the heart throughout the body tyo give your cells oxygen. the blood in the veins has had its oxygen depleted by your cells and is travelling back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen
Is blood in the arteries in rich in oxygen?
By definition, ALL arteries carry Oxygen rich blood. Veins carry oxygen depleted blood.
Does gas exchange occur in the arteries or veins why or why not?
Gas exchange primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries or veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to tissues, while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The capillaries, which are small blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and surrounding tissues. Therefore, gas exchange does not take place directly in arteries or veins.
What is the main difference in the amount of gasses in most arteries and veins?
Veins carry carbon Dioxide to the heart and arteries carry oxygen to the body.
When the oxygen goes into the bloodstream it goes into arteries veins or capillaries?
Oxygen moves into the lungs to the alveoli in the lungs into capillaries into pulmonary veins to the heart then to arteries that go through the rest of the body.
The 3 kind of blood vessels?
Arteries, capillaries, and veins. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart. Capillaries are between the arteries and veins and supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients.
