Simple answer. All your life your lungs inhale and exhale oxygen. This is facilitated by the diaphragm, a muscle just below the lungs.
When this muscle moves down a partial vacuum is created allowing the lungs to inflate filling the space created by the moving diaphragm, it then moves up again compressing the lungs and therefore expelling the air in them.

Do you inhale Oxygen and Exhale Carbon Dioxide?
lung
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 body system obtains oxygen for the bloodstream?
The lung,maybe.
Where the blood collects oxygen?
vains pass through the outer layer of the lung and the oxygen (being soluble) passes through and oxygenates the blood
What is normal saturation?
"Oxygen saturation" refers to the fraction of hemoglobin that is saturated by oxygen. It is related to the partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air and, therefore, to altitude. Normal oxygen saturation in an otherwise healthy individual at sea level is > 95%. Low oxygen saturations can be found in a wide variety of lung diseases.
What is the function off the lung?
Intake of oxygen from the outside world carrying it into the bloodstream, and exhalation of CO2.
How do you get output?
1.measurement of oxygen intake from the lung,fick's law 2.dilute technic principle
How will an obstruction in the right primary bronchus affect how oxygen-dissociation for the right lung compare with the left lung?
An obstruction in the right primary bronchus will affect oxygen intake. The right lung will not have the ability to draw in as much oxygen as the left lung, resulting in oxygen dissociation.
Why do you breathe faster when your doing an activity?
Because your muscles require more oxygen when active, therefore, the lung must go faster to increase your intake.
Does the lung bring oxygen into the body?
Yes. The blood passes through the lung tissues and gets oxygen.
If you have 60 percent lung capacity how long before you have to have oxygen?
The need for oxygen therapy is not solely determined by lung capacity but also by symptoms of low oxygen levels. If you have 60% lung capacity but are not experiencing significant symptoms, you may not need oxygen therapy. It would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and recommendation.
What does perfusion of the lung involve?
absorpition of oxygen from the blood into the lung
What does the lung get rid of?
oxygen
What do your lung take out of your blood?
The lung takes carbon dioxide out of your blood and replaces it with oxygen.
Is 42 percent oxygen intake dangerous?
42 percent oxygen intake is not dangerous.
Why are you not getting enough oxygen?
There are a few things that can cause you to have insufficient oxygen. Lung disease, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, lung fibrosis or lung cancer to name a few.
What passes from the lung into the capillaries?
Oxygen
