From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
Why you inhale oxygen only?
when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium
Why do the air you breathe out contain no oxygen?
The oxygen in the air you breathe in is absorbed via the lungs into the blood.
What has more oxygen air sacs or blood?
air sacs
What are the air chambers where blood can get oxygen?
The alveoli.
In the lungs oxygen from air enters the?
blood
How does oxygen that is in the air get into your blood?
lungs pumps air to the heart and heart pumps air around body through blood
How does oxygen enters the body?
Oxygen enters the body by being absorbed into the blood (specifically, it is absorbed by red blood cells which contain an oxygen-carrying compound known as hemoglobin) when air is inhaled into the lungs, which have a highly porous, spongy structure which facilitates the exposure of blood to the air.
Do mammals have red blood?
no their blood is blue until it reacts with the oxygen in the air
How does oxygen that he breathes in with air get into his blood?
it goes to the lung and the blood picks it up there
What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.
What is the overall function of the respiratory system?
The function of the respiratory system is to provide the body with oxygen. Oxygen enters the body through the respiratory system and is carried in blood throughout the body.
