The "oxygen-poor blood" is converted to "oxygen-rich blood" through the heart and the lungs. The blood without oxygen goes through the heart to the lungs where it is converted to oxygenated blood and returned to the heart, which distributes it throughout the body.
They are kept separate (mostly) by means of using dufferent vessels to carry each. The oxygenated blood is carried in arteries and arterioles whilst the deoxygenated blood is carried in the veins and veinules. The opposite is true of the pulmonary circulaiton.

What materials are found in serum?
Serum is composed of the liquid component of blood. It refers to an amber-colored, protein-rich liquid that separates out as blood starts to coagulate.
What separates the lungs from each other and divides the thoracic cavity into two parts?
The mediastinum, a broad, middle tissue partition, separates the lungs from each other and divides the thoracic cavity into two parts. It contains vital structures such as the heart, esophagus, trachea, and major blood vessels.
What is an example of apheresis?
One example of apheresis is plateletpheresis, where a machine separates platelets from a donor's blood, collects them, and returns the remaining blood components to the donor. This process allows for the collection of a higher concentration of platelets compared to whole blood donation, which is often used in treating patients with low platelet counts.
What techniques separates molecules based on size?
Filtration separates particles based on size.
Separates dura mater from bone of vertebra?
The epidural space separates the dura mater from the bone of the vertebra. This space is filled with fat and blood vessels and is where epidural injections are commonly administered to deliver medication for pain relief. The dura mater is a tough, fibrous membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and support.
The pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries are colored blue why?
Because they are also carrying oxygenpoor blood.
How does oxygenrich blood travel from the heart to capillaries around the body?
through your pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein.
What is the purpose of antiangina drugs?
By relaxing the blood vessels, antiangina drugs reduce the heart's work load and increase the amount of oxygenrich blood that reaches the heart.
Where does oxygen-poor blood become oxygen-rich blood?
To be rich in something means you have a lot of it, right? Well, for our blood to be rich in oxygen, we must have a lot of oxygen in the blood. Oxygen poor would be the opposite...minimal oxygen availability.
What separates the right side of the heart?
The SEPTUM separates the right side of the heart from the left side. This is to prevent the mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood.
What separates oxygen blood and carbon dioxide blood?
white blood cells carrry oxygen to the blood
What is the job of the septum?
It divides heart into right and left halves to keep oxygenated and deoxygenated blood seperate.
What is precipitin?
Precipitin-- An antibody in blood that combines with an antigen to form a solid that separates from the rest of the blood
Does blood separate into three layers when Centrifuged?
yes. Blood separates into, from top to bottom, plasma, white blood cells/ platelets, and red blood cells.
When fibrinogen makes blood it separates from blood and what is the remainder?
It doesn't make blood - its a component of blood (plasma). It is polymerized by thrombin to form fibrin, a major component in blood clots.
What separates the aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle?
The bicuspid valve is the valve that separates the left ventricle from the aorta.
What separates the air inside the alveoli from the blood?
Alveolar interstitial cell wall
