Does oxygen and other gases enters the nose and travel down to the windpipe but only the oxygen enters the lungs?

They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.

What kind of blood does lungs have?
Same blood as everywhere else. The difference is the gases in the blood: it enters the lungs low on oxygen and high in CO2, it leaves high in oxygen and low in CO2.
What does it mean to exchange gases?
A gas exchange is the diffusion of gases from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. An example of this is when humans breath. Oxygen enters the body by means of the airway and replaces the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide exits the body and replaces the oxygen on the outside of the body.
Which gases are in oxygen?
Oxygen is an element - it contains no other constituent gases.
Why does blood enter the lungs?
they enter the lungs in order to obtain oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. this process occurs in the alveolus of the lungs by diffusion.
What does gases have?
oxygen
What direction do oxygen particles go in an alveoli?
they travel through the capillary which exchanges them to carbon dioxide
