No blood vessels convert oxygen to carbon dioxide. Blood vessels carry oxygen to the body cells, and carbon dioxide away from body cells. Oxygenated blood is carried through the aorta, the largest artery in the body, which branches into smaller arteries, which branch into arterioles, and then into capillaries. Oxygen diffuses from the capillaries into the body cells, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the body cells into the capillaries, which then form into venules, which then form into veins, which carry deoxygenated blood to the heart via the inferior and superior vena cavae, the largest veins in the body.

What else can I help you with?
What does a plant convert carbon dioxide into?
A plant converts carbon dioxide into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves capturing sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
How do you convert Carbon to Carbon dioxide with regard to amount?
Carbon Dioxide is CO2, or 1 carbon atom for 2 oxygen atoms. To convert carbon to carbon dioxide, simply introduce energy to carbon in the presence of oxygen, i. e. burn coal.
List the mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
The mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are the lungs. The blood vessels are also needed for transporting oxygen and dispelling carbon dioxide.
How can you convert carbon dioxide to oxygen in one step?
One way to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen in one step is through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in plants. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.
What two gases are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth. Oxygen is absorbed from the air into the blood vessels, while carbon dioxide is released into the air from the blood vessels.
The oxgyen carbon dioxide cycle involves the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide and back through living organisms?
Actually, the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle involves the process of photosynthesis where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen in the presence of sunlight. This oxygen is then utilized by living organisms for respiration, where they convert it back into carbon dioxide. So, it is a continuous cycle of oxygen being produced and consumed by living organisms.
Why the plants are so important?
They convert carbon dioxide in oxygen
What are the tiny blood vessels that trade carbon dioxide and oxygen?
u have to google it
What constant monitors levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
blood vessels
What are small vessels where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide?
Capillaries are the small blood vessels where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. They are located throughout the body and allow for the exchange of gases between the blood and tissues.
Do plants convert the energy of sunlight into carbon dioxide and water?
No. (This is just a bad multiple choice distractor.)Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen using the energy of sunlight.
How is carbon dioxide split into carbon and oxygen?
Carbon dioxide is split into carbon and oxygen through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs in plants. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The carbon from the carbon dioxide is incorporated into the glucose, while the oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
