don`t you know.its carbon dioxide.i know this because my teacher gave me a crossword puzzle about the circulatory system it was really hard i have a friend named ruth.

What veins carry back to the lungs as waste?
veins take the CO2 back to the lungs as a waste.
A waste gas that is transported in the veins from the body to the lungs via the heart?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Do veins always carry oxygen-poor blood?
No, only in the systemic (body) circuit. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.All veins carry blood to the heart. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood to the heart from the lungs.
What organs are in circulatory system?
Organs in the circulatory system include the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products to and from cells throughout the body.
Does veins or arteries have oxygen?
More, not less. Oxygen is moved into the arteries by the lungs and pumpled by the heart through the body. As the cells use the arterial oxygen they create carbon dioxide as a byproduct of metabolism. This waste is sent to the veins where the heart pumps it back to the lungs to be exhaled with the breath.
How does veins carry oxygenated blood while others carry deoxygenated blood?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the right atrium of the heart, which sends it through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle to the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs (to become oxygenated and get rid of waste gases) to the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle through the semilunar aortic valve to the ascending aorta to the aortic arch and out to the body. So the only veins that are oxygenated are the pulmonary veins that carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. They are still called veins because they carry blood TO the heart. Thus, the only deoxygenated blood in arteries is also the pulmonary arteries, because they carry the deoxygenated blood AWAY from the heart to the lungs. All veins must carry blood toward the heart and all arteries must carry blood away from the heart.
Which blood vessels and parts of the heart carry oxygen-rich blood?
With three exceptions, arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the body organs and the veins carry oxygen poor blood and waste products to the heart.The exceptions are:the pulmonary veins return blood from the lungs to the heart;the portal veins receive oxygenated blood from the pyloric, gastric, cystic, superior mesenteric, and splenic veins and carry it to the liver;the umbilical vein carries blood to the fetus from the mother's placenta.
Why are the lungs called the excretary organs?
Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapour are the waste products of respiration. The Veins provide deoxygenated blood to the lungs which excretes these waste products out of the body. So, lungs are called excretary organs.
How does systemic circulation work?
In systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to all parts of the body through the arteries. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and picks up waste products. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
What is the major function of the lungs in a human body?
The major function of the lungs is gas exchange. Gas exchange requires the entire cardiopulmonary system which includes the heart, lungs, and blood vessels (arteries,arterioles,capillaries,veins),. At the capillaries which is the smallest vessels with thin walls permitting diffusion and gas exchange the carbon dioxide (C02) and oxygen (02) are exchanged. It is the capillaries that allows tissues to be supplied with the essential oxygen that they need and allows the tissues get rid of the toxic waste products including C02. The waste products will travel back to the veins, back to the heart where they then go to the lungs and are expired. When an individual inhales, the oxygen is taken in via alveoli in the lungs, travel to the heart then to the arteries and then to the tissues. and the cycle continues...
A waste gas that is transported in vein from the body to the lungs via the heart?
It's referred to as Carbon dioxide. It is the main cellular waste product that is carried in the blood to the lungs through the heart.
What are the organs of circulation?
The main organs of circulation in the human body are the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and the lungs. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products. The lungs oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide during the process of respiration.
