Blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs.

∙ 11y agoOxygen is taken in to the body through a mammals mouth, nose, blowhole, or whatever the animal uses to breath. The oxygen is filtered through the lungs and into the blood stream where it is carried throughout the body to where it is needed.
Oxygen from the air is first absorbed into the blood through the lungs. This oxygenated blood is then pumped by the heart throughout the circulatory system via the arteries so that it reaches all the cells of the body.

Oxygen comes into the body through the what?
In humans, oxygen comes into the body through the lungs and is then transported throughout the body by red blood cells.
How is oxygen moved to every celling the body?
Oxygen is transported through the blood stream by Hemoglobin.
What materials are transported through the body for cellular respiration to occur?
Glucose and oxygen.
Where is the oxygen obtained by mammals?
Mammals take in oxygen from the air they breathe. High concentrations of oxygen in the lungs replenish the oxygen-poor red blood cells that pass through. The cells then carry the oxygen through the body.
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported throughout the body of a vertebrate?
Oxygen is absorbed into special veins from the lungs and is then transported to extremities through the bloodstream.By way of the circulatory system.
Why is blood transported all through your body?
To carry oxygen and nutrients all parts of your body. Without it, those parts would die.
What are the functions of hemoglobin?
takes oxygen and circulates it through the body
What is transported to body cells by the blood?
Oxygen and nutrients.
What happends in the lungs when oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported?
The oxygen is made of compoundants and such that when it goes through the body it's so sensitive it changes to carbon dioxide.
Is oxygen transported around the body by red blood cells?
Yes, 97% of oxygen in the body is transported by RBCs with the help of haemoglobin. The rest 3% is carried by the plasma.
What transports oxygen around the human body?
Oxygen is breathed through the nose or mouth and travels to the lungs through the bronchial tubes, then absorbed through the alveoli into the bloodstream. In the bloodstream the oxygen is transported all over the body by red blood cells. So, red blood cells would be your answer.
What is iron's benefit for the human body?
Iron bonds with oxygen redily and is thus transported molecularly to the individual cells through the bloodstream. The oxygen is used in cellular respiration.
