air enters the blood from the lungs by a chemical called hemoglobin which makes your blood red. As air enters your lungs if fills up a number of tiny membrane sacks that are covered in tiny capillaries(blood vessels)the oxygen is pulled through the membrane and attracted to the hemoglobin where is it moved through the body to provide chemical energy for your body while at the same time swapping the oxygen with Co2 which then does the opposite and leaves the lungs. please feel free to add anything that i have missed.
What are examples of respiration?
There are four distinct events in Respiration 1. Pulmonary ventilation Air inside the lungs is exchanged with fresh air on the outside. 2. External Respiration Fresh air in the lungs is moved into the blood, and used air in the blood is moved into the lungs to be removed. 3. Respiratory Gas Transport The circulatory system pumps the blood into which the fresh air has been moved throughout the body. 4. Internal Respiration The cells of your body remove air from your red blood cell and move the carbon dioxide into them
