The oxygen diffuses through the thin lining of the alveoli into the blood. It moves from the area of high oxygen concentration (the alveoli) to the area of low oxygen concentration (the blood).

Random thermal motion is enough to cause a gas to leave a solution, particularly when the concentration of that gas in the surrounding atmosphere is less than it is in the solution diffusion process, moving from higher concentration to lower concentration. Entropy drives such processes.

Diffusion, pressure gradient.

The pressure in the blood is 100 torr, the pressure inside the cells is about 0.25 torr

(Because the mitochondria use it up making water).

Oxygen moves by diffusing from an area of higher oxygen partial pressure (air) to an area of lower oxygen partial pressure (blood) through the thin walls of the alveoli.

after it is inhaled, it is diffused into the bloodstream through avioli, which are little things in the lungs.

As partial pressure of O2 is higher in alveoli it diffuses from alveoli to blood .
