Yes. Oxygen goes to every organ of the body. It gets there via the blood. Blood travels to organs through special blood vessels called arteries. The arteries that provide blood to the heart are called coronary arteries, from a Latin word that means heart.
How oxygen gets into the blood is via the respiratory system, which uses the lungs to take oxygen from the air we breathe and put it into the blood. Once in the blood, oxygen travels to the heart, then into the arteries, and then it moves from the blood into cells of the heart in a process called diffusion.

As you breath, the oxygen flows through one of the valves in your heart and oxygenates your blood cells, then the blood cells are pumped around your body, and once they have used up their oxygen, they are pumped back to the heart to receive more oxygen.

∙ 9y agoThe oxygen gets from the HEART TO THE BODY not the other way around. The heart takes in deoxygenated blood from the body and directs it to the lungs with the help of the PULMONARY ARTERY. Once the blood has been oxygenated it gets sent back to the heart through the PULMONARY VEIN. From there the oxygenated blood is directed to the Aorta and sent to the rest of the body.

What chamber of the heart give the body oxygen?
the heart does not give the body it's oxygen it is the lungs. The heart is used to pump the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then to pump the blood throughout the body and add oxygen to the blood cells.
Why is the blood flowing to the heart oxygen-poor while the blood flowing to the rest of the body is oxygen-rich?
When the blood is flowing back to the heart, the blood has already given off its oxygen to the rest of the body which means it contain less oxygen concentration in the blood. and when blood is flowing from the heart to the rest of the body, the blood contains high level of oxygen because they were being given oxygen by the lungs which passes along the heart and the heart pumps it to the rest of the body.

Why do you think it is important that the heart pumps oxygen rich blood to the body?
because the body needs oxygen, which is received from the heart to perform all activities
How is the blood different in the arteries going out to body cells compared to the blood coming back to the heart from the body cells?
I'm no anonomy expert, but the blood carried from the heart to the body is oxygen rich while the blood coming from the body has had it's oxygen absorbed so it goes through the heart to the lungs, where it gets oxygen, back to the heart and out to the body again.
How does the heart get oxygen blood to the body?
The heart distributed oxygenated blood to the body with the help of Arteries and Arterioles.
What does your heart function as in your body?
