First, you inhale air (oxygen) through your nose or mouth. Then it travels down your trachea to your lungs, which have bronchioles and capillaries. There are de-oxygenated blood cells in your capillaries waiting for oxygen to to replace the carbon dioxide, which you will breathe out. The de-oxygenated blood travels through the veins to the heart and the heart pumps out oxygenated blood through the arteries to the rest of the body.

∙ 13y agoBlood is oxygenated (receives blood) in the lungs, more precisely in the alveoli. Here oxygen diffuses freely over a very thin membrane and into the blood.
The reverse happens with carbon-dioxide, which exits the blood via this same very thin membrane.
As the blood passes through the lungs where there is an exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The lungs exhale and release the carbon dioxide and then inhale and take in fresh oxygen. Then the oxygenated blood circulates back into the body to keep us living.

What system transports oxygen and nutrients to tissues?
The circulatory system transport nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. It includes the heart and all the blood vessels, including the blood. It also takes waste products out of the tissues.
What happens when blood reaches tissues?
When blood reaches the tissues, cells, and organs via the capillaries, materials diffuse across the capillary wall so that the cells, tissues, and organs receive nutrients and oxygen, and eliminate wastes.
What body systems main function is to carry oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and remove waste from them?
The blood or the circulatory system carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removes waste from them
Which organ pumps oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of the body?
The heart pumps oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of the body. It does this by circulating blood throughout the body's network of blood vessels.
What percent of oxygen do red blood cells give up to organs and tissues?
21%
What tissues does your heart keep alive?
The heart pumps and circulates blood, which transports oxygen and nutrients to all tissues in the body - and transports away wastes (such as carbon dioxide and other waste products) to the eliminatory organs.
What jobs does blood have?
Blood transports oxygen (and carbon dioxide) and nutrients throughout your body to your tissues.
What makes blood cellls?
they flow oxygen and nutrients to the organs and tissues in your body
What system transports oxygen and nutrients to tissues?
The circulatory system transport nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. It includes the heart and all the blood vessels, including the blood. It also takes waste products out of the tissues.
What is the jobs of blood?
Blood transports oxygen (and carbon dioxide) and nutrients throughout your body to your tissues
What transports oxygen nutrients and waste though mammals and fish?
Blood transports oxygen nutrients and wastes in mammals and fish .
What body system transports nutrients and oxygen?
The circulatory or cardiovascular system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Blood is the tissue that transports oxygen and nutrients, and the arteries are the vessels that carry blood loaded with oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues.
What happens when blood reaches tissues?
When blood reaches the tissues, cells, and organs via the capillaries, materials diffuse across the capillary wall so that the cells, tissues, and organs receive nutrients and oxygen, and eliminate wastes.
Is the job of the circulatory system to bring fresh air to blood?
No. The circulatory system does transport various gasses around the body but the main gas the body needs is Oxygen (and not 'fresh air'). The blood transports breathed in Oxygen from the lungs into the tissues and organs and transports waste gasses such as carbon dioxide from the tissues and organs to the lungs to be expelled when breathing out. The circulatory system's job is transportation of the gasses to and from where they need to go in the body.
Which organ system transports oxygen and nutrients around the body?
The circulatory system (blood and vessels) transports oxygen and nutrients around the body. The heart furnishes the power to move the blood.
What does vasculitis do?
Because adequate blood flow is required to provide the organs and tissues with oxygen, vasculitis causes damage to oxygen-deprived organs and tissues
3 main functions of water in the body?
Water helps to transports oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the body. Water helps to removes toxins and wastes from the body. Water regulates body temperature through perpetration.
