The lungs take in oxygen, this oxygen travels down to the alveoli (thin, permeable sacs), which are covered in blood vessels, and the oxygen travels into the blood due to a pressure difference and CO2 goes from the blood to the lungs to be exhaled. The body needs that oxygen for almost every system in the body.
Carbon dioxide is at high levels and oxygen at low levels in blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs.
The two types of blood that are in the heart are oxygen-rich blood that is pumped from the lungs to the body (systemic circulation) and oxygen-poor blood that is pumped from the body to the lungs (pulmonary circulation).
Oxygen-poor blood comes from different parts of the body where oxygen has been used up by cells. This blood is then returned to the heart through the veins, and pumped to the lungs where it picks up oxygen again.
Oxygen-poor blood leaves the heart via the pulmonary artery and is transported to the lungs for oxygenation. Once it picks up oxygen in the lungs, it returns to the heart through the pulmonary vein to be pumped out to the rest of the body.
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
oxygen rich blood gets pumped out of your heart to your arteries which carries the blood to your muscles. then your muscles use the oxygen. oxygen poor blood goes into your veins to go back into your heart. then it goes through a cycle that takes your blood to your lungs, to get oxygen. this process is repeated.
it goes to the lungs and get oxygenated then returns to the heart to be pumped to the body
no you have oxygen high blood.
Blood goes to the lungs oxygen poor and comes out of the lungs oxygen rich.
has poor oxygen in it
Oxygen Poor blood. The lungs add the oxygen to the blood and then release the carbon dioxide.
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
