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.

Is there a way to get oxygen into your cells?

Yes, oxygen is transported to your cells via the bloodstream. When you inhale, oxygen enters your lungs and is then diffused into the bloodstream where it binds to red blood cells and is carried to all parts of your body, including your cells, to support cellular respiration.


How oxygen distributed throughout the body?

Oxygen is transported throughout the body by red blood cells in the circulatory system. When we inhale, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. These oxygen-loaded red blood cells are then carried by the circulatory system to all tissues and organs in the body, where the oxygen is released to support cellular respiration.


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.


How does the oxygen we breathe get to all the cells in our body?

Oxygen is transported in the blood by red blood cells. When we breathe, oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream in the lungs and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The heart then pumps the oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen to all cells via the circulatory system.


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.


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.


Where does blood get oxygen from?

Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.


How do you get oxygen to all of your cells?

By the Haemoglobin in our red blood cells.
