In the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs (alveoli) into the surrounding capillaries. These capillaries are thin-walled and have a large surface area for efficient gas exchange. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin, which is then carried by the bloodstream to the tissues.

Where does blood pick up this oxygen?
Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs when it diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli into the bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to tissues throughout the body.
Where in my body does the blood pick up oxygen?
Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs when it passes through the alveoli, tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen from the air we breathe enters the blood in the lungs and is then carried throughout the body by red blood cells.
How do blood circulates oxygen and nutrients throughout the body?
Oxygen and nutrients are carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body, where cells absorb oxygen and nutrients from the blood. The deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart and lungs to pick up more oxygen.
Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Which chambers of the heart cointain blood low in oxygen?
The right atrium and right ventricle of the heart contain blood low in oxygen. This blood returns from the body and is then pumped to the lungs in order to pick up oxygen.
What red blood cell pick up in the lung?
Red blood cells pick up oxygen and deposit carbon dioxide at the lungs
Why lungs are red in colour?
Lungs contain lots of blood. Blood goes to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
Where does red blood cells pick up oxygen?
lungs
Does blood pick up oxygen in the capillaries of the lungs?
Yes it does
Does the artery take the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen?
no
What pick up in the lungs by the blood?
The blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and gives it to all the organs in the body that needs it.
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.
Does the blood pick up oxygen in the lungs?
No, it does everything except picks up oxygen in the LUNGS. It gives up carbon dioxide instead! :)
Where do blood cells pick up oxygen?
In the lungs, in the alveolar capillaries
Where does blood pick up oxygen from before it is pumped to the rest of the body?
The lungs
Blood get pump from the ...... to the lungs to pick up oxygen?
Right ventricle. Blood gets pumped from the body to the lungs where it is oxygenated then returns to the heart where it is pumped to the the other organs that need oxygen, e.g. the brain.
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.
