oxygen (O2) enters the body via respiration (breathing) it enters small pouches in the lungs called alveoli. these alveoli are surrounded by tiny blood vessels called capillaries. there is an exchange at these alveoli, carbon dioxide (CO2) exits the blood and O2 enters the blood. this freshly oxygenated blood is now returned via the pulmonary vein to the Left side of the heart. the left ventricle pumps blood to the body. as the blood vessels get smaller they again form capillaries. there is another exchange of gasses, O2 is transferred out to the cells and CO2 (the waste product from cellular metabolism) is transferred to the blood. the Deoxygenated blood is then returned via the venous system to the right side of the heart. the deoxygenated blood is pumped back to the lungs and the alveoli via the pulmonary artery. and then the whole cycle starts over again.
hope this helps :)
What else can I help you with?
What cells help you get oxygen?
Red Blood cells help you get oxygen to your cells
How do the cells of the hydra get oxygen?
Hydra cells get oxygen through diffusion.
What carry's oxygen to cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body and to the cells.
What carries food and oxygen to the cells?
blood carry oxygen to cells
What organ provides oxygen to cells?
The lungs provide oxygen to cells by extracting oxygen from the air we breathe and delivering it to the blood. The blood then carries the oxygen to all cells in the body.
What uses hemoglobin to supply oxygen to other cells oxygen to the other cells you?
red blood cells
What are the blood cells that transport oxygen?
red blood cells transport oxygen :)
What supplies oxygen to the cells?
Blood delivers oxygen to the cells through the red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the different tissues in the body where it is needed for cellular respiration.
What process carries oxygen to and carbon dioxide away from cells?
Respiration is the process that carries oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from them. Blood carries the oxygen to the cells.
What blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to cells?
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are responsible for carrying oxygen to cells throughout the body. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues in need of oxygen.
Describe how oxygen gets from the air to the cells of the foetus?
Oxygen from the mother's blood diffuses across the placenta into the foetal blood. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to the cells of the foetus through the circulatory system. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs at the capillaries, allowing oxygen to reach the foetal cells for cellular respiration.
Which gas does blood carry to the cells of the body What else does it carry to the cells?
It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body.* * * * *Not so.In general, it carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
