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 does the stem bronchus in the lungs do?
It sends oxygen to individual alveoli in your lungs, which sends oxygen to your body's cells.
In humans which of these is required for carrying oxygen from the lungs to body cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the rest of the body.
Do carrying oxygen from the lungs to the cells provide the body with energy?
in the human body, oxygen is absorbed by the blood stream in the lungs, being then transported to the cells where an elaborated change procces takes place. So yes, oxygenfrom the lungs to the cells provides the body with energy
Do red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the cells in the human body?
No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.
Where is oxygen found in human body?
In the blood, cells, and our lungs.
Which blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs and distributes it to all the cells in the body?
red blood cells
What function transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body?
This transport is by simple diffusion:from a high of oxygen (in the blood) to a low (in the cells).
Where do red blood cells give oxygen?
Red blood cells give oxygen to the lungs. Also, they carry oxygen out to the body from the heart.
Where do red blood cells drop off oxygen?
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
What is the function of blood cells in the lungs?
The main function of blood cells in lungs is to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body
Why are red blood cells important to the circulatory system?
Provide oxygen to the entire body, from the brain to the pinky toe. Blood is circulated via the Pulmonary Artery from the heart to the lungs, and from the lungs (where oxygen is absorbed by the red blood cells) to the rest of the body. After the oxygen has been dispersed, the blood cells begin the cycle anew.
How does oxygen enter your body?
Oxygen (O2) enters your body through breathing air, which contains oxygen in it. This oxygen goes into your lungs where it is put into the bloodstream, supplied to cells in your body, returned to the lungs as carbon dioxide (CO2), and exhaled through the lungs.
