The capillaries in the lungs receive blood from the pulmonary arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart. As the blood flows through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen. This oxygenated blood is then collected by the pulmonary veins, which return it to the left side of the heart for distribution to the rest of the body.
What else can I help you with?
What does the heart pump to the lungs?
pulmonary artery, to the lungs capillaries where the blood is oxygenated
What sort of blood vessels are surrounding the air sacs in your lungs?
Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
What blood vessel changes blood from oxygenated to deoxygenated?
The capillaries carry oxygenated blood from the arterioles through body tissues, where the oxygen diffuses into cells that need it. The capillaries then receive carbon dioxide from the cells, and enter the venules that lead to veins.
How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
Does blood pick up oxygen in the capillaries of the lungs?
Yes it does
How does oxygen from your lungs gets into your blood?
Diffusion through capillaries
A vein that sends blood to hepatic capillaries?
Veins do not send blood to capillaries. They receive blood from capillaries. Arteries send blood to capillaries, in this case, specifically, hepatic arterioles.
When Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart at what structure?
The alveoli of the lungs are surrounded by capillaries. As the blood travels through the capillaries, the red blood cells become oxygenated and give up their load of CO2
What chamber pumps the blood to the lungs?
The right chamber pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen.
Capillaries receive blood from vessels called?
Venules
How does the lungs pump blood around the body?
No. The lungs oxygenate the blood. The heart pumps the blood through the arteries/veins/capillaries around the body.
