Question

When you examine fluid that you have drawn from a blood vessel,

youfind that it is relatively high in carbon dioxide and
wasteproducts. Assuming that the fluid comes from a healthy
individual,you conclude that the blood vessel from which you have
drawn bloodcould have been _________.

Answer 1

VEIN (venous return)

Step-by-step explanation:

The venous return to the heart is rich in C02 and waste

The waste and C02 in blood is transported to the kidney and the liver in the Veins and leaves through the( right and left renal veins and portal vein respectively) via the inferior vena cava; to the heart for oxygenation

The C02 rich blood (deoxygenated blood) with the waste removed in the kidney and liver is transported by the vena cava → the right atrium→ right ventricle → pulmonary vein for pulmonary circulation in the lungs to release the C02 and take Oxygen(oxygenated blood) back to the heart ,which is pumped by the left ventricle into the Aorta ( artery) and other arteries in systemic circulation.

Thus Veins transport deoxygenated( with C02) blood and wastes

Arteries transport Oxygenated blood ( with Oxygen) and metabolites
