It enters the bloodstream through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen is then transported by the blood to all of the body cells by a protein in the red blood cells called hemoglobin that binds oxygen with a capacity of 1.34 mL O2 per gram of hemoglobin.

Where does the red blood cell carry the oxygen to?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the cells of the body.
What is the deficiency of all (blood) cells?
pancytopenia
Were do the red blood cells take your oxygen?
To all of the other cells of your body that need oxygen to live.
How does blood carries oxygen and carbon dioxide In all the body?
It is carried in the red blood cells.
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.
what part of the blood cells carry food nutrients and oxygen to all cells?
The blood plasma contains the red blood cells which carries the food nutrients and oxygen to all the cells.
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
Do red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the cells in the human body?
No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.
Where does the red blood cell carry the oxygen to?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the cells of the body.
How do you get oxygen to all of your cells?
By the Haemoglobin in our red blood cells.
What is the deficiency of all (blood) cells?
pancytopenia
What does the red cells do in the blood?
red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in your body
Which blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs and distributes it to all the cells in the body?
red blood cells
How do the heart and lungs work?
When we breathe in our lungs fill with oxygen rich air. Membranes in the lungs exchange the oxygen from the air with carbon dioxide in the blood. Then we breathe out the spent air to inhale fresh. The blood, now replenished with oxygen, is pumped by the heart through the arteries to all cells in the body where the oxygen is exchanged with the cells for carbon dioxide and returned through the veins to the lungs.
Were do the red blood cells take your oxygen?
To all of the other cells of your body that need oxygen to live.
How do you think oxygen gets from your lungs to all the cells of your body?
Oxygen diffuses through the alveoli in the lungs into the blood stream. Here, haemoglobin bonds with the oxygen, forming oxy-haemoglobin. When needed, the oxy-haemoglobin breaks down to form oxygen and haemoglobin to unload the oxygen into nearby cells.
Why are cells important in your body?
The white blood cells destroy diseases while the red blood cells carry oxygen through out the body. So all in all the white cells are for you to not get sick often and the red blood cells to get oxygen to your whole body. Thanks!
