Ossomosis. The blood travels near the lungs then Oxygen travels from the lungs to the blood. More->Less And the previous blood, does the same with CO2 More->Less.

When you breathe oxygen gets into the blood in your what?
RBC(Red Blood Cell)
How does oxygen circulate in the body?
Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.

How is oxygen transferred to the cell?
Oxygen is transferred to the cells by our red blood cells which have a special molecule called hemoglobin inside. The hemoglobin molecule binds to the oxygen molecule and the reb blood cells transports the oxygen to wherever it is needed.
What substance is transported by hemoglobin?
The hemoglobin molecule is what the oxygen molecule will attach to in the red blood cell.
Carries oxygen?
The molecule that carries oxygen is the hemoglobin molecule. The cell that carries oxygen is the red blood cell.Blood. Red Blood cells. Or Haemoglobin in the red blood cells depending on what level you are looking at.The protein that carries oxygen in the blood is Haemoglobin(hemoglobin).
What blood cell takes oxygen to other cells?
Red Blood Cells carry oxygen to other body cells by using a molecule called hemoglobin. This molecule contains iron which is what oxygen is actually attached to.
How does carbon monoxide zffect a smoker's blood?
Carbon monoxide binds tightly to the hemoglobin in red blood cells, instead of the oxygen that they should normally carry. So when you breathe in, the CO molecule attaches to the blood cell rather than the O2 molecule, and your cells don't get enough oxygen. CO can kill.
How does the blood cell adapted to it's function?
R.B.C have hemoglobin molecule which carry carry oxygen
In blood cells what carries oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin is the molecule in the red blood cell that carries oxygen. Iron is one of hemoglobin's chief components.
What type of blood cell contains which carries oxygen to all the cells in your body?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the blood cells of the body with the help of a red pigment which is present in R.B.C (red blood cells) called haemoglobin.Oxygen sticks to the pigment and thus is carried to the cells.
Function of a red blood cell is?
The function of a red blood cell is to carry oxygen to the body tissues. Its hemoglobin molecule is the most important structural component that carries out this function.
