which side of the heart has carbon dioxide rich blood and whicn has has the oxygen rich blood ?
Answers
Answer:
The right side of the heart has carbon dioxide-rich blood and the left side of the heart has oxygen-rich blood.
Explanation:
The heart is a muscular pumping mechanism or a closed system of different types of blood vessels consisting of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
The mammalian heart is four-chambered,
i.e. right and left Atrium (upper part) and Right and left Ventricles (lower part).
- The right atrium receives superior vena cava that brings deoxygenated or CO₂ rich blood from the upper region of the body and the head and the inferior vena cava brings the deoxygenated blood from the lower region of the body.
- In return, the left atrium receives oxygen-rich or oxygenated blood from the lungs via pulmonary veins. The left ventricle pushes the blood to all the body parts.
so the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood and the left side carries oxygenated blood.
The right side of the heart has carbon dioxide-rich blood whereas the left side of the heart has oxygen-rich blood.
- The mammalian heart consists of four chambers:-
- Right and left Atrium/ Atrium
- Right and left Ventricle.
- The heart shows double circulation i.e. blood passes through the heart in two cycles and two times. It includes the following circulations:-
- Pulmonary Circulation: Deoxygenated or carbon dioxide-rich blood is carried from the right ventricle to the lungs through the pulmonary artery for getting oxygenated.
- Oxygenated or oxygen-rich blood is carried back to the left auricle through pulmonary veins.
2. Systemic Circulation: Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle goes to the body tissues by Aorta, which gets converted to carbon - dioxide-rich or deoxygenated blood as tissues take oxygen to get energy and perform their respective functions, which then goes back to the right auricle by the inferior and superior vena cava.
