WHAT IS OXYGENATED BLOOD?

The main difference between oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood is that

oxygenated blood carries higher levels of oxygen. Oxygenated blood flows to
the lungs and is exposed to atmospheric oxygen there. The oxygen causes the
hemoglobin in the red blood cells to turn brighter red. Oxygenated blood flows
away from the heart to deliver oxygen to metabolizing tissues throughout the
body. It travels through arteries, which is why oxygenated blood is also known
as arterial blood.

WHAT IS DEOXYGENATED BLOOD?

Deoxygenated blood, also known as venous blood, serves the opposite purpose
of oxygenated blood. Deoxygenated blood has delivered oxygen to the
metabolizing tissues in the body and received carbon dioxide in return. As such,
it has a much lower oxygen level than oxygenated blood. Deoxygenated blood
then travels through the systemic vein to return to the heart and eventually flow
to the lungs to resupply on oxygen.
