Which of the following terms is the name for blood that flows towards the body tissues, and contains oxygenated blood cells?
  1. Venous blood.
  2. Arterial blood.
  3. Capillary blood.
Explanation
Answer: B - Arterial blood flows from the heart towards body tissues, and contains red blood cells that are oxygenated. It is bright red in color because the hemoglobin is reacting with the oxygen molecule. Arterial blood is under a great amount of pressure, exerted from the heart, and spurts if an artery is injured.
