How does the oxygen get from the body to the heart?

Answer 1

Yes. Oxygen goes to every organ of the body. It gets there via the blood. Blood travels to organs through special blood vessels called arteries. The arteries that provide blood to the heart are called coronary arteries, from a Latin word that means heart.

How oxygen gets into the blood is via the respiratory system, which uses the lungs to take oxygen from the air we breathe and put it into the blood. Once in the blood, oxygen travels to the heart, then into the arteries, and then it moves from the blood into cells of the heart in a process called diffusion.

Answer 2

You breath in oxygen, then the oxygen goes to your lungs. As you breath, the oxygen flows through one of the valves in your heart and oxygenates your blood cells, then the blood cells are pumped around your body, and once they have used up their oxygen, they are pumped back to the heart to receive more oxygen.

Answer 3

The oxygen gets from the HEART TO THE BODY not the other way around. The heart takes in deoxygenated blood from the body and directs it to the lungs with the help of the PULMONARY ARTERY. Once the blood has been oxygenated it gets sent back to the heart through the PULMONARY VEIN. From there the oxygenated blood is directed to the Aorta and sent to the rest of the body.

Answer 4

Oxygen is picked up from the lungs and carried into the heart by way of the 4 pulmonary veins. These empty into the left atrium and then flow into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle this oxygenated blood is pumped to the body.

Answer 5

1: the lungs do not carry oxygen, that's why we have blood vessels. 2: the blood vessels from the lungs always bring oxygen to the heart, and to no where else in the body.

Answer 6

When blood enters the heart it is deoxgenated as it enters the right atrium.

Answer 7

it mixes into the blood.
