arteries send blood to the rest of the body, from the heart; viens send it back to the heart from the body.
The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body through the arteries. These blood vessels branch out into smaller vessels called arterioles and then capillaries, where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins to be reoxygenated.
every body part you have sends blood to your heart
It is on the left.
Your arteries send blood away from the heart and around your body.
Your body picks up oxygen in your lungs. Your right ventricle pumps blood through your pulmonary artery to your lungs. Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs. From there, it needs to get to the rest of your body. How can it do that? Something has to send it there. Let's send it through a vein to the heart. Maybe we can get the heart to send the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Then the heart takes that blood and pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen leaves the blood it returns by way of veins. Under what conditions would a vein contain oxygenated blood?
The heart has 4 chambers, the purpose of which is to send deoxygenated blood it receives from the body to the lungs, and to receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and to pump it all through the body. If through some problem the deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood are mixed and sent out, then the % of oxygenated blood will be lower. Your whole body suffers when you don't get enough oxygen. If a heart has the kind of problem that causes this, the body could be in serious trouble.
No, the heart pumps blood through the body using its strong muscle contractions. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting the blood to all parts of the body, including delivering oxygen and nutrients and removing waste products.
