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.
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry rich blood or poor blood?
the artries always carry O2 rich blood but the exception to this rule is pulmonary artery which carries o2 poor blood.pulmonary artery carries O deficit blood to the lungs it is exception to artries which always carry O rich blood to organs of body.
What artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle?
The Aorta is the artey
Is an artery a type of blood vessel?
Yes, an artery is a type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
What is the only artery carrying blood rich in oxygen?
Pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries non-oxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood.
Do artreies always carry 02 rich blood?
Not always. The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein reverse the general roles of O2 rich and poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries O2 poor blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries O2 rich blood back to the heart in order to be sent to the rest of the body.
What blood vessel takes rich blood from the lungs and brings it back to the heart?
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
Does a frog's pulmonary artery carry oxygen-rich blood?
I'm pretty sure that the frogs pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood to the lungs.
Large blood vessel that carries oxygen rich blood to the body?
Aorta is the main and largest artery. It carries blood out of the heart from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
What is the vessel leaving the heart with low oxygen?
The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.
What artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the body?
aortic arch
If a artery is rich in oxygen it is coming from where and going to where?
Arteries always take blood away from the heart. So, arteries that are rich in oxygen always take blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Be careful though. The pulmonary artery is considered an artery because it carries blood away from the heart, but it does not carry oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to become oxygenated. Similarly, most veins carry deoxygenated blood, returning it to the heart, but the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
