Lungs are an important part of the respiratory system in our body and it is because of lungs that we can burn the energy in our bodies. The oxygen and carbon dioxide in lungs is carried in or out of them with the help of blood vessels. This means that the blood vessels carry the oxygen to the body from the lungs and the carbon dioxide do the opposite thing.

The red blood cells present in blood carry these respiratory gases and if there is inadequate blood supply to the lungs then the gases will not be absorbed properly. If the absorption of gases is faulty then the body will be deprived of the ability to burn energy, ultimately life.

Which parts of the body require a constant supply of oxygenated blood-lungs heart brain or intestine?

The brain and heart require a constant supply of oxygenated blood. The brain is highly sensitive to oxygen deprivation, and even brief interruptions can lead to significant damage. The heart also needs a continuous supply of oxygenated blood to function effectively and maintain its rhythmic contractions. While the lungs and intestines also need blood supply, they do not require it as continuously as the brain and heart.


Why do lungs need a lot of blood?

It's not so much that the lungs need alot of blood, but more that the blood depends on the lungs.

Do the lungs bring oxygen into blood?

Yes, the lungs take in oxygen from the air we breathe and transfer it into the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Oxygen-rich blood is then carried to the rest of the body to supply cells with the oxygen they need for energy production.


Do the lungs have de oxygenated blood?

It does indeed contain the blood it pumps, but the heart cells themselves receive a rich supply of blood via capillaries. A good rule of thumb is that each contractile cell has one capillary associated with it, since these energy intensive cells need a lot of fresh blood to function.


Why do lung have a large number of blood vessels?

Do you need oxygen to aerate the lungs and to cleanse the blood?
