if artery and veins are connected together through capillaries then why does not oxygenated blood mix with deoxygenated blood?
Answers
Answer:
Because of septum
Explanation:
septum divides the right and the left side of the heart.
Answer:
Mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is impossible due to the valves present in both arteries and veins.
Explanation:
The deoxygenated blood from the body goes to the right auricle and then is passed to the lungs for oxygenation and thus the blood gets oxygenated, now blood again goes to the heart in the left auricle and then it is passed to the whole body, even in the tissues in which blood travels through capillaries.
The moment it passes from capillaries to the arteries, it gets deoxygenated but both types of blood do not get mixed due to the valves present in the arteries which prevent the backward flow of the deoxygenated blood and thus prevents their mixing.
