In exchange, the blood picks up waste from the cells, including carbon dioxide, heat and excess water. The heart pumps blood throughout the body through a closed system of tubes. These tubes that carry the blood are called blood vessels. There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries.

The term for the vessels the deliver blood to the veins?
Capillary beds carry deoxygenated blood into veins to return the blood to the heart and then to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
How does your blood travel?
first it starts in the heart then goes to the lungs to pick up oxygen then back to the heart then it goes the your all ur organs to exchange oxygen for wastes then the waste is filtered from it in your kidneys and then back to the heart where the process starts all over again ur heart pumps itwhich mades ur veins and arteries contract and extract
Vessels that carry oxygenated blood from heart to the organs?
The vessels that carry blood to the heart are called veins and the vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries.Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. Most are oxygenated except the pulmonary arteries which are low in oxygen and are going to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
From what part of the body is blood being returned to the heart as it passes through the pulmonary veins?
Blood traveling through the pulmonary veins is being returned to the heart from the lungs. The pulmonary veins have the distinction of being the only veins in the body which carry oxygenated, rather than deoxygenated blood.
What brings blood to heart?
In general, veins are the blood vessels that bring blood to the heart. Blood that has already been circulated to the tissues and released its oxygen returns to the heart by the superior vena cava (from the upper body) and inferior vena cava (from the lower body). Blood is then sent to the lungs to pick up oxygen, and it returns to the heart by the pulmonary veins.
Do arteries carry blood to the heart and veins carry blood from the heart?
No. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the organs, and veins carry blood back to the heart. All arteries have high pressure from being pumped by the heart so recently, and all veins have low pressure from travelling round the body for so long. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery, which goes to the lungs to pick up more oxygen) and most veins carry deoxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary vein, which has lots of oxygen from the lungs).
What do veins arteries and capillaries do?
Arteries take blood from the heart to the cells of the body. Capillaries take the blood to the individual cells to give them food and oxygen. They then take Carbon Dioxide and waste away from the cells. Veins then take blood from the capillaries back to the heart. The Heart then sends blood through another artery to the lungs. It goes through different capillaries to get rid of Carbon Dioxide and pick up Oxygen. Then it goes through another vein back to the heart. From the heart, it goes back to the starting point.During the process, some of the blood going to the cells of the body goes through the kidneys to get rid of wastes. Some goes through the liver to get rid of different wastes and to pick up food from the intestines. Some goes to muscles. Some goes to the brain. Some feeds the heart so it can pump blood.veins,artery,capillaries.
Describe the 5 steps of the circulatory system?
The heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the veins. The heart pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart and is pumped out to the body through the arteries. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to body tissues, while waste products are picked up. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart to start the process again.
Why do veins have one away valves?
To prevent blood from going the wrong way. It has to move TOWARDS the heart and thence to the lungs to get rid of CO2, and pick up oxygen. Otherwise, you die.
What are the blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood away from the heart?
Arteries take blood away from the heart (arteries=away). Almost always these carry blood high in oxygen. Veins carry blood back to the heart and almost always carry blood low in oxygen. The only exception: Pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the heart but they are low in oxygen and need to pick up this in the lungs. The Pulmonary veins carry oxygen to heart from the lungs.
What is the role of capillary in transport?
In muscles and other body tissues, there are capillary beds which connect arterial supply and venous return. Arteries end as capillaries in the body tissue, where blood dumps oxygen and nutrients for use by muscles. At this point they are considered arterial. They may also pick up waste products to carry away. By the end of the capillary beds, they are depleted and considered venous. They flow continuously into the veins which flow back to the heart. The heart sends this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and the cycle continues.
What artery takes blood to the lungs to pick up carbon dioxide?
The artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up carbon dioxide is the pulmonary artery. It transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs, allowing carbon dioxide to be expelled and oxygen to be absorbed. After this process, the oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
