Yes.
Oxygen directly,
the veins get the food first but it must pass through the lungs and the heart to get to the arteries (and thence to the cells).

What two things does your blood carry to all cells in your body?
Oxygen, glucose, various protiens, enzymes, vits, minerals are all carried to all cells in the body by blood.
How does food and oxygen get to a muscle cell in your toe?
Well it doesn't actually carry food down there. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your extremities through capillaries. These are very tiny veins that branch off from the veins connected to your arteries. When you prick your finger or toe the blood that comes out is actually from one of these capillaries.
What are the systems in the circulatory system?
Heart, blood vessels, blood are parts of the circulatory system.
What is the system function of the Respiratory System?
The function of the respiratory system is to allow gas exchange it, taking oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood. The oxygen absorbed is used by the body cells to carry out respiration, the release of energy from food: sugar + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY The carbon dioxide made by respiration is removed when we breathe out.
How does oxygen and food get to the cells in your body?
Human cells obtain the much-needed food and oxygen via the bloodstream.
What blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to cells?
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
What is the carrier of food nutrients and oxygen?
blood vessels. they are the pathways or tubes in the body through which blood flows. the blood vessel are of three kinds. these are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. the arteries carry blood away from the heart. the veins bring blood back to the heart. capillaries carry blood rich in oxygen to the tissue, and carry away waste products
Blood vessels in the dermis that carry oxygen and food?
Arteries to arterioles to capillaries where exchange occurs. Oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and wastes.
What do the arteries contain?
Arteries contain digested food and is rich in oxygen. Edit (Wolf5370): Completely incorrect. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart (under pressure as they are under direct pressure from the heart). They delivery oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.
How do the blood cells carry food?
blood cells do not carry food, blood cells carry oxygen.
What kind of blood do arteries carry?
Arteries carry arterial blood away from the heart through the aorta and carotid arteries. Venous blood is then circulated back to one of the vena cavas where it enters the right atrium, go's through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle so that it can be taken through the pulmonary valves to t he lungs. There, it once again becomes arterial blood, and is taken through the left chambers to the aortic arch and the cycle repeats.
Does your blood carry food?
no it carry's oxygen
From what source do cells get food?
ANSWER IS NOT OXYGEN, I ANSWERED OXYGEN AND IT WASN'T RIGHT. The correct answer is BLOOD
Describe each parts of circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body.THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells.THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the VeinsArteriesArteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away.CapillariesCapillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances(nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.VeinsVeins carry blood back toward your heart.
Does blood carry food and oxygen around the body?
Blood carries Oxygen through the body but, not food.
What carries food and oxygen to the cells?
blood carry oxygen to cells
What are the major part and function of the circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels. HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body. THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells. THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the Veins Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances (nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls. Veins carry blood back toward your heart.
