How do blood and oxygen work together in the body when you are running?

When you are running, your muscles are working extra hard. Therefore, they need more oxygen and glucose than normal, since it is the chemical reaction between these two that produces energy for work. The blood is pumped to the lungs for more oxygen and to the liver for more glucose. (Glucose is stored in the liver.) Blood flow to the working muscles is increased in order to deliver these two, and to carry away carbon dioxide and heat that are produced as wastes.

What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?
I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.
Is more or less blood being pumped from the heart after running?
More. Your heart is responding to the body's increased demand for oxygen.
Why is oxygen consumption lower for walking than running?
Running causes the body to produce more blood to make oxygen to obtain stamina while walking is a low energy exercise and the build up of more blood to produce oxygen is slower.
How does the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to supply the body with oxygen?
The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues receive enough oxygen. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. Additionally, the two body systems work together to remove carbon dioxide they do this by
After blood releases oxygen to the cells of the body the blood becomes?
After blood releases oxygen to the cells of the body the blood becomes deoxygenized. It then travels back to the heart to get more oxygen.
What is oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood?
Oxygenated blood is the blood remaining after the oxygen intake by the body from the blood. And than oxygenated blood goes to Lungs and heart with enrich with oxygen for the body.
