You breathe the oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen then dissolves into the water lining which is called the alveoli. Finally, the oxygen will cling to the red blood cells as they pass through the alveolar capillaries and now the oxygen is in the blood.

Oxygen gets into the bloodstream via alveoli, bumby ball like things at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs. The gas exchange takes place in the alveoli and oxygen enters the blood while carbon dioxide leaves the blood and is then breathed out.
