How do you think oxygen gets from your lungs to all the cells of your body?
Oxygen diffuses through the alveoli in the lungs into the blood stream. Here, haemoglobin bonds with the oxygen, forming oxy-haemoglobin. When needed, the oxy-haemoglobin breaks down to form oxygen and haemoglobin to unload the oxygen into nearby cells.
What do red blood cells pick up from the cells?
Oxygen
What is exchange of gas?
This is when the red blood cells , sent from the heart, pass through the alveoli and the breathed in oxygen is diffused into the cell and carbon dioxide is diffused out. The cells then travel around the body in the blood vessels where the oxygen is needed, before returning to the heart in the veins. The red blood cells have a substance in them called haemoglobin . When the red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs, it becomes oxhaemoglobin
What part of the lungs does the blood pick up the oxygen it needs?
The alveoli are where the actual exchange takes place.
Where does red blood cells pick up oxygen?
lungs
The microscopic air sacs or alveoli are the sites where the blood what?
Pick up oxygen and give up carbon dioxide
What happens to oxygen after it enter the lungs?
It passes across structures called Alveoli (part of Bronchioles, part of Bronchi) that are full of capillaries to allow blood to pass nearby and pick up the oxygen (binding to red blood cells by osmosis) then that is carried to the heart, then pumped out to the bodies organs which gather the oxygen and trade CO2 for it.Or if you want it simpler;The tissues in the lungs puts that Oxygen into red blood cells which go through your blood stream giving it to organs that need it, such as mussel and your brian.
What oxygenates the blood?
The red blood cells pick up oxygen from the air that is inhaled into the lungs. When the red cells pick up the oxygen from the air, they expel carbon dioxide into the lungs to be exhaled.
Where does the body get its oxygen from?
Human bodies take air into the lungs and remove oxygen from it (air is about 21% oxygen). In the alveoli (air sacs within the lungs) oxygen passes into the bloodstream where it is absorbed by the chemical hemoglobin in red blood cells. The oxygen is carried to all the cells of the body. The blood cells pick up carbon dioxide that the cells create when they oxidize food to get energy. This carbon dioxide is returned to the lungs, where it leaves the blood and is released from the body when you exhale.
Where do blood cells pick up oxygen?
In the lungs, in the alveolar capillaries
What red blood cell pick up in the lung?
Red blood cells pick up oxygen and deposit carbon dioxide at the lungs
What give oxygen to the red blood cells?
They are transported to an oxygen rich environment, the lungs. It is there that they pick up their oxygen.
