What else can I help you with?
Where is freshly oxygenated blood first received?
The first organ to receive oxygen-rich blood would be the heart. The right ventricle pumps de-oxygenated blood to the lungs. The lungs provide oxygen via interaction with capillaries which in turn sends the oxygen-rich blood back to the left atrium which is found in the heart.
What carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs?
Arteries and veins carry freshly-oxygenated blood away from the lungs.
What is the function of the splenic artery?
To supply nutrient rich and oxygenated blood to the spleen.
WHY does The LEFT side of the heart pump oxygenated blood out to the body?
Because the left side of the heart receives the freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs and is connected to the aorta which is your largest artery and delivers all that oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
What is the vein that transports oxygenated blood to right atrium of the heart?
The vein that transports oxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart is the pulmonary vein. It carries freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for circulation to the rest of the body.
What organ does not require oxygenated blood?
Every organ require oxygenated blood. Most of the blood received by your lungs is deoxygenated.
What is the job of aorta?
The aorta is an artery, starting near the heart, that pumps freshly oxygenated blood through the body.
Which structure contains blood with the highest oxygen concentration?
Pulmonary veins, as they carry freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for distribution throughout the body.
How does the oxygen enter your heart?
Highly oxygenated blood enters the heart via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium of the heart. Veins return to the heart and normally have relatively deoxygenated blood (pulmonary veins are an exception to this rule and have freshly-oxygenated blood) while arteries go away from the heart and have highly oxygenated blood (the pulmonary artery bringing blood from the right ventricle toward the lungs is an exception and has poorly oxygenated blood).
Do viens carry deoxygenated blood?
VeinsGenerally, yes. Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. The exception is the pulmonary vein. That vein comes from the lungs and contains freshly oxygenated blood.
What is the purpose of collecting an arterial specimen?
Because arterial blood is freshly oxygenated, it gives a better reading of Blood Oxygen Levels - venus blood is headed back to the heart/lungs where it will be refreshed.
What type of blood does an artery carry?
oxygenated blood oxygenated blood oxygenated blood
