What else can I help you with?
What does peripheral vein carry to the extremities oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
Oxygen poor blood
Can vein carry oxygen rich blood?
The only vein that normally carries oxygen rich blood is the pulmonary vein which carries freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for distribution to the body. Ordinary veins can have oxygen poor blood but don't carry oxygen rich blood.
Which blood vessel contains blood with the highest oxygen level?
Umbilical Vein, all other vessels have varying degrees of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Why does the umbilical vein contain the most oxygen?
Because it does.
What does a pulmonary artery carry that a pulmonary vein doesn't?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
What fetal blood vessel has the highest oxygen concentration?
The umbilical vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the placenta to the fetus, making it the fetal blood vessel with the highest oxygen concentration.
Vein of the fetal pig that carries oxygenated blood?
There are two veins that carry oxygen they are the Pulmonary vein and the Umbilical vein:-)
Can a blood vessel be defined as an artery or a vein by the type of blood it carries?
An Artery caries Oxygen Rich blood and a Vein carries Oxygen Poor blood, but not by definition because the Pulmonary Arteries carry Oxygen Poor blood and the Pulmonary Veins carry Oxygen Rich blood, (these vessles can be found between the heart and the lungs).
What is three differences in the composition of the blood in the umbilical artery and the umbilical vein?
Umbilical vein is saturated with oxygen and devoid of carbon bi oxide. Umbilical arteries has lost much of the oxygen and it is replaced with carbon bi oxide. Umbilical vein is full on digested food material, like amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Umbilical arteries has got waste products of metabolism and lost much of the food material to the fetus. The blood pressure is umbilical vein is very low. The blood pressure in the umbilical arteries is high.
What two components in the Circulatory System have oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood respectively?
The right atrium and ventricle of the heart, as well as veins, contain oxygen-poor blood. The left atrium and ventricle, as well as the arteries, contain oxygen-rich blood. One exception to this is the pulmonary vein and artery, which are reversed - pulmonary artery contains oxygen-poor blood and pulmonary vein contains oxygen-rich blood.
Transports oxygen directly to the embryo?
The umbilical cord is responsible for transporting oxygen-rich blood from the mother to the embryo. Oxygen is delivered through the placenta and then carried through the umbilical vein to the embryo for its development. This process helps ensure that the growing fetus receives the necessary oxygen for its growth and survival.
Does an umbilical artery carry oxygen?
No, Umbilical arteries take deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta, it is the umbilical vein carries the oxygenated blood from the placenta to the futus.
