You inhale oxygen/
It flows to the lungs.
The lungs transfer the oxygen to the blood stream in exchange of carbon dioxide , which is exhaled.
The blood stream flows to all parts of the body, and exchanged the oxygen for carbon dioxide, in muscles and other body organs.
The carbon dioxide is then carried to the lungs and exhaled.
This then begs the question, 'What happens to the carbon dioxide?.
Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas and fall to the ground. Whereupon in is inhalked by green leafed plants; grass/leaves etc.,
In these plant, under the process of photsynthesis and in the presence of UV(sunlight) light, the plant breaks down the carbon dioxide into carbon , which is kept in the plant as biomass. The oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere for animals to breath.
It is a natural cyclic process.
That's putting it very simply. I am sure there are more complxities in the system.
