More oxygen, for the pumped blood circle through the body and the body consumes more oxygen and carries more oxygen than it carries carbon-dioxide.

What are the three differences between the composition of blood in pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?

Pulmonary artery 1. No oxygen 2. A lot of carbon dioxide Pulmonary vein 1. Lots of oxygen 2. No carbon dioxide


Why does the Pulmonary artery have blood filled with Carbon dioxide in it?

I put this question up here before I registered.The simplest answer I can find is Celluar respiration puts out carbon dioxide which is carried through the blood in the Pulmonary artery to the lungs.Am I right though?


How would you define pulmonary circulation?

pulmonary circulation the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.

What gas is carried by most arteries?

Oxygen. The pulmonary artery carries carbon dioxide instead.


What artery takes blood to the lungs to pick up carbon dioxide?

The artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up carbon dioxide is the pulmonary artery. It transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs, allowing carbon dioxide to be expelled and oxygen to be absorbed. After this process, the oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.


What is job of the pulmonary artery?

The pulmonary artery carries blood out of the right ventricle to the lungs where the blood deposits carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. The pulmonary vein brings the blood back to the heart and into the left atrium.


What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?

pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space


Blood that is poor in nutrients is carried from the aorta to the?

pulmonary artery, where it is then transported to the lungs to pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. After circulating through the lungs, the now oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins before being pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta.


What is carbon dioxide rich blood?

Carbon dioxide rich blood, which is red blood cells lacking oxygen but high in carbon dioxide concentration.These blood cells have circulated through the body and given up much of its oxygen while collecting waste carbon dioxide. The pulmonary artery carries this blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.


What happens after blood travels through the pulmonary semilunar valve?

It goes through the pulmonary artery, to the lung. Becomes oxygenated, and goes to the left atrium. It is pumped through the Mitral valve, into the Left Ventricle. Left Ventricle pumps it through the aortic valve to the aorta.
