Which organ system transports oxygen and nutrients around the body?
The circulatory system (blood and vessels) transports oxygen and nutrients around the body. The heart furnishes the power to move the blood.
How does oxygen move?
Oxygen moves through the body via the bloodstream, carried by red blood cells. It is inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream, and then transported to tissues and organs where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide to be exhaled.
How does oxygen move into blood?
Oxygen moves into the blood by diffusing across the respiratory membrane in the lungs. This process occurs in the alveoli, tiny air sacs where oxygen enters the bloodstream from the surrounding air. From there, oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transportation to tissues throughout the body.
What process causes oxygen to move from the lungs into the blood?
Oxygen moves from the lungs to the blood through a process called diffusion. This occurs at the alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen in the air sacs diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli. From there, the oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport to the body's tissues.
How does oxygen move the respiratory system to the circulatory system?
by diffusion across a capillary wall
How does oxygen move from the blood into body cells?
by diffusion
What are some of the things that your cells can do that require the entire body?
when the blood cells move your body has to move the blood with it
Does blood produce oxygen?
Yes - oxygen is held in red blood cells (in haemoglobin to be precise). As the blood flows, oxygen is brought all around the body and eventually gets back to the heart and lungs as carbon dioxide (which is what you exhale).
What is the responsibility of the blood?
The blood is a transport system for the body. It carries red blood cells, which have hemoglobin that carries oxygen molecules to various parts of the body. It also carries various nutrients and hormones throughout the body. It helps move oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. White blood cells also move through the blood to attack any invading bacteria or viruses. Drugs are also carried through the body via the blood.
What does hemoglobin carries to the other body cells?
yes, the hemoglobin found in red blood cells, binds it to oxygen and carries it to the cells throughout the body.
Are Red Blood cells the most numerous of all the body's blood cell components?
Red blood cells are the most abundant in the blood. This is because they are the main component in the blood. The red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and carry out CO2 and other impurities. The red blood cells act as transports for the nutrients in the body. Oxygen is the most important element for all the many functions in our body. Without oxygen, we wouldn't be able to survive. Since, red blood cells are the ones carrying oxygen, RBC's are the most numerous blood cells. Red blood cells also called erythrocytes.
Why our body cells have a different oxygen concentration compared to the blood flowing to them from our lungs?
Diffusion from high concentration to low concentration.The oxygen concentration in the air in the lungs is higher than in the blood.The oxygen concentration in the blood is higher than in body cells.If these differences in concentration did not exist oxygen could not move from the air to the blood to body cells. While we are alive body cells consume some of the oxygen they receive, reducing their oxygen concentration and maintaining these differences. When we die the body cells quit consuming oxygen and over a period of time the levels of oxygen slowly begin evening out (however as blood no longer moves from the lungs to the body oxygen diffusion slows dramatically, leaving some body cells with much lower oxygen levels than would be normal).
Why is it easy for oxygen to move from the air sacs to the blood?
i guess...the red blood cells just pick up the oxygen moleclues and bring it to where the body needs it....it just kinds seeps in
Which organ system transports oxygen and nutrients around the body?
The circulatory system (blood and vessels) transports oxygen and nutrients around the body. The heart furnishes the power to move the blood.
Why is having more red blood cells allows some athletes to compete at a better level?
red blood cells carry oxygen around the body, oxygen allows your body to break down glucose to form energy. The more red blood cells, the more oxygen reaches your body's cells and therefore your cells have more potential to produce energy therefore they can work more and thus you can move faster
Why does oxygen diffuse from an alveolus to the blood around it?
Oxygen diffuses from an alveolus to the blood around it because of the concentration gradient between the high oxygen concentration in the alveolus and the lower oxygen concentration in the blood. This process allows oxygen to move from the lungs into the bloodstream for transport to the body's cells.
How does oxygen move?
Oxygen moves through the body via the bloodstream, carried by red blood cells. It is inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream, and then transported to tissues and organs where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide to be exhaled.
