I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, so I'll answer this two ways.
oxygen is used in our bodies at a cellular level. It is used and carbon dioxide is a byproduct of its function. Oxygen is carried in the blood stream on your red blood cells on a transport car called hemoglobin. This allows for the oxygen to get to the cells that need it. When the carbon dioxide is produced, it is released into the blood stream. Our bodies know when there is more carbon dioxide because it is acidic in the blood, allowing for our body to increase our respirations and breathe off the carbon dioxide (co2)---for our bodies to do this, this of veins as walls of a house, and the walls keep in the CO2. On the outside of the house is the air, like our lungs, so a door needs to be opened to allow the CO2 to be transferred across. There are tiny little spaces between each cell we have, and the ones in the lungs allow for oxygen and carbon dioxide to cross (the doorways).
When we're sick with a bad cough, with a chest infection, the doorways can be plugged with the mucous and cause problems with how the oxygen and c02 cross from the blood to the lungs, and the feeling that we cannot breath. (this on top of a few other things)
Hope that made sense!

What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
Is oxygen found in your blood?
Yes. The lungs put oxygen into the blood and takes out carbon dioxide, which you breath out. The blood brings oxygen to all muscles and other tissues in the body and removes carbon dioxide.
What do blood gases include?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitogen.
Why you need balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air?
The brain tells all your blood cells and veins to start cleaning out the carbon dioxide out of the blood.
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
Where is the place where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood?
Oxygen is entered through the mouth and carbon dioxide is released out of the mouth.
What gases are exchanged in the blood?
Oxygen is absorbed, and Carbon Dioxide is released.
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
What organ does the oxygen-carbon Dioxide take place?
Oxygen is brought into the blood, and carbon dioxide released from the blood, at the alveoli of the lungs. Gases diffuse across the alveolar membrane to enter or leave the blood.
Where does gas get exchanged in the circulatory system?
In lungs where carbon dioxide is released and oxygen absorbed and in cells where oxygen is given to cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by blood.
What do your lung take out of your blood?
The lung takes carbon dioxide out of your blood and replaces it with oxygen.
List the mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
The mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are the lungs. The blood vessels are also needed for transporting oxygen and dispelling carbon dioxide.
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What parts of the hearte is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide?
What parts of the hearts is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide
Which gas passes into the blood from the alveoli?
ravioli
What supplies oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood stream?
Lungs and Lungs. Blood that contains carbon dioxide means it is lacking oxygen, and the carbon dioxide was put into the blood as a waste product by all the other organs. The blood then reaches the lungs and exchanges the carbon dioxide for oxygen. The now oxygen-rich blood is transported to the heart where it is pumped throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide is exhaled from the lungs.
