1 The main difference in the blood that circulates in the vein and the artery is the venous blood is deoxygenated and it contains carbondioxide The blood that flows in the veins are the blood that returns from tha different parts of the body to the heart and it is said to be impre blood.The coulur of the blood is dark

But the blood that flows in the artery contains oxygen and it is the blood that pumed from the heart to different parts of the body.The colour of the blood is bright.

(There is only one artery that carries the deoxygenated blood that is pulmonary atery and the only vein that carries oxygenated blood is the pulmonary vein It happens in the pulmonary circulation where the blood taken from the heart to the lungs for the oxygenation and return back to the heart after the oxygenation)

2.The phlebotomy means withdrawing blood sample for the laboratory test,to remove the excess red blood cells etc by introducing a needle into the vein.The meaning of phleb is vein and otomy is opening.So it is a procedure of making an oipening in the vein to draw the blood sample.
