How is oxygen depleted blood carried to the lungs?
This is through the Pulmonary Circulation.
What pumps blood into the pulmonary artery and carries it to the lungs?
The RIGHT VENTRICLE pumps the oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve and into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs.
Describe the path blood follows through the pulmonary circulation loop?
oxygen-poor blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. gas exchange occurs in the lungs and the oxygenated blood is then returned to the left side of the heart through pulmonary veins
What is the blood vessel that carries oxgen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary veins are high in oxygen and carry blood to the heart. The heart will then pump it to the rest of the body.
What circulation transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen?
Blood travels to the lungs because it is not oxygenated and it will become oxygenated in the lungs, since that is what the lungs are for. The pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein takes blood from the lungs back to the heart, from whence it is pumped throughout the body.
What is the process in which deoxygenated blood comes to the lungs to get oxygen?
Deoxygenated blood comes to the lungs to be reoxygenated in the respiratory process. This involves both blood flow and the circulation of oxygen from it's separation from room air into base gas components in the lungs. The perfusion process is also another name for it, but this is a little general. The blood itself circulates to the lungs via the pulmonary artery (the only artery to carry deoxygenated blood) to the lungs where the spent oxygen is exchanged as carbon dioxide for new oxygen molecules via the perfusion process and is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein(the only vein to carry oxygenated blood).
A blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart. The pulmonary arteries carry oxygen poor blood to the lungs from the heart.Arteries always carry blood away from the heart. Veins always carry blood back to the heart.The pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood.Oxygen rich blood from the lungs is returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein.The pulmonary veins transport oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What type of blood is in the pulmonary arteries?
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
What transports blood high in oxygen?
The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the PULMONARY VEIN.
Where does the blood that flows from the pulmonary arteries lead to?
The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs.
The right side of the heart pumps low-oxygen blood to the?
The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.
