How blood moves around the body?
The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body through arteries. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, and picks up waste products like carbon dioxide. Veins then carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
Where does pushing force come from to push the blood form heart?
The heart generates the pushing force to pump blood through the contraction of its muscles. This force is created when the heart contracts, causing an increase in pressure within the heart chambers, which then propels blood into the arteries and throughout the circulatory system.

What is the blood vessel that carries blood to the heart?
vena cava
Blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood to the heart?
The pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscles. The Inferior and Superior Vena Cava bring the used blood from the body to the heart.
What is the name of the blood vessel which carries blood to the cardiac muscles?
The left and right coronary arteries carry oxygenated blood from the base of the aorta to the heart muscle.
An artery is a blood vessel that only does what?
Arteries Cary oxygenated blood. This is usually to organs or muscles with the exception of the pulmonary artery wich carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
