The highlighted vessels are ________ blood to the heart. The highlighted vessels are ________ blood to the heart. arteries that carry deoxygenated veins that carry oxygenated arteries that carry oxygenated veins that carry deoxygenated

Respuesta :

In the circulatory system, arteries take blood from the heart, and veins carry it to the heart. B) The highlighted vessels are veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart.

What is the circulatory system?

The circulatory system is a mechanism that, together with the respiratory system, provides oxygen to the organism and removes carbon dioxide.

The circulatory system is in charge of driving oxygen to all the tissues and cells in the body and taking away carbon dioxide from them.

These gases are in the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, respectively.

The heart bombs blood through arteries

  • The oxygenated blood moves forward all tissues and cells
  • Deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs ⇒ pulmonary artery

This organ also receives blood through veins,

  • Oxygenated blood enters from the lungs ⇒ pulmonary vein
  • Deoxygenated blood comes from other tissues

So the heart sends blood through arteries and receives blood through veins. Depending on the destiny and origin of this blood, it is oxygenated or deoxygenated.

There are two principal types of circulation,

  • Lung circulation

1. Moves blood between the heart and the lungs.

2. Deoxygenated blood goes from the heart to the lungs (pulmonary artery)

3. In the lungs, deoxygenated blood releases carbon dioxide and gets oxygenated again.

4. Carbon dioxide is released by exhalation.

5. Blood absorbs oxygen from small air sacs named alveoli.

6. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart (pulmonary vein).

  • Systemic circulation

1. Carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body.

2. Oxygenated blood leaves the heart and moves to all the cells in the body (arteries).

3. Deoxygenated blood returns from tissues to the heart (veins).

From the image,

  • The highlighted vessels are closely related to the lungs.

  • So, according to their position and diametre, we can assume these are either pulmonary veins or arteries.

  • If we consider the statement says that the highlighted vessels move blood TO the heart, we can assume we are talking about veins.

The only veins that move from the lungs to the heart carry oxygenated blood.

According to this reasoning, option B is correct.

The highlighted vessels are veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
