When blood moves from the lungs to the heart it is now?

Blood is de-oxygenated when it it pumped into the lungs, and after going through the lungs, is now oxygenated.


What vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?

Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs


Do your lungs have any muscles attached to them?

The lungs are attached to the heart. The heart carries deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery to be converted to oxygenated blood in the lungs. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.


How does the circulatory system help your cells get rid of carbon dioxide?

The blood flowing through the veins carry the carbon dioxide from the cells of all parts of the body to the heart. Hence we say that the veins transmit the De-oxygenated blood from all parts of the body to the heart. The De-oxygenated blood collected in the heart flows to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. The blood gets oxygenated in the lungs. Then the oxygenated blood flows to the heart through the pulmonary vein. Then the oxygenated blood flows to all parts of the body through the arteries. So blood flows into the heart through the veins, and flows out of the heart through the arteries. Normally the De-oxygenated blood flows through the veins and the oxygenated blood flows through the artery. The only exceptions are the pulmonary artery that transmits de-oxygenated blood from heart to the lungs and the pulmonary vein that transmits oxygenated blood from lungs to heart. This is because blood flows into the heart by veins and flows out of the heart by arteries.


Which side of the heart pumps fresh oxygenated blood through the lungs?

The right side of the heart: including the right atrium which tops off the right ventricle when it contracts and the right ventricle which pumps blood low in oxygen to the lungs. Pulmonary arteries carry that blood to the lungs. Pulmonary veins bring blood high in oxygen back to the heart.


How does the pulmonary vein bring oxygenated blood to the heart?

Your body picks up oxygen in your lungs. Your right ventricle pumps blood through your pulmonary artery to your lungs. Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs. From there, it needs to get to the rest of your body. How can it do that? Something has to send it there. Let's send it through a vein to the heart. Maybe we can get the heart to send the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Then the heart takes that blood and pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen leaves the blood it returns by way of veins. Under what conditions would a vein contain oxygenated blood?


What are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood back to the heart?

The inferior and superior vena cavae bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the rest of the body. From there it goes through the heart, to the lungs, back through the heart, then to the body.


What type of blood travels from the lungs to the heart?

Blood receives oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as it passes through the lungs (within the blood vessels), therefore it would be oxygenated blood traveling from the lungs into the heart, and through the heart and going out to all major organs, the brain, and to the limbs.


Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?

The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs, to the left atrium of the heart.


What carries blood away from the heart and to the blood?

The Aorta. arteries


What is the job of the pulmonary veins?

It conveys oxygenated blood from the lungs into left atrium of the heart.


Where does oxygenated blood enter the heart?

Through the inferior and superior vena cavaThe left atria of the heart is where oxygenated blood enters, it is then pumped to the left ventricle and then to the rest of the body thru the systematic circuit. The heart is separated by the septum, which separates oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
