Question

When you examine fluid drawn from a blood vessel, you find that it is relatively high in carbon dioxide and waste products. Assuming that the fluid comes from a healthy individual, from which blood vessel could you have drawn the blood is most likely ______.

Answer 1

A vein. This is because veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Answer 2

A vein.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two big types of blood vessels, arteries, and veins. The fist ones carry oxygenated blood and nutrients that the different organs in our body need to work properly. The second one carries blood with CO₂ and wastes that will be taken out of our body when we exhale, for the CO₂, and when we urinate for the wastes.
