A protein called hemoglobin present in red blood cells is able to bind oxygen molecules. Capillaries surround the alveolar sacs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood where it is bound by hemoglobin. Now, the oxygen is in the blood.

What is the substance that moves from the bloodstream to the air via the lungs?
deoxygenated blood
How does oxygen enter your body?
Oxygen (O2) enters your body through breathing air, which contains oxygen in it. This oxygen goes into your lungs where it is put into the bloodstream, supplied to cells in your body, returned to the lungs as carbon dioxide (CO2), and exhaled through the lungs.
What take oxygen that your body needs from air and put it in your bloodstream?
The lungs are part of the respiratory system that with the circutory system add oxygen to your blood.
What transports oxygen around the human body?
Oxygen is breathed through the nose or mouth and travels to the lungs through the bronchial tubes, then absorbed through the alveoli into the bloodstream. In the bloodstream the oxygen is transported all over the body by red blood cells. So, red blood cells would be your answer.
From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
What is it call when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
+++Osmosis
What does it mean when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
Oxygen is moving by simple diffusion. It is going from a higher level of oxygen (air) to lower (blood).
What is the substance that moves from the bloodstream to the air via the lungs?
deoxygenated blood
When the oxygen goes into the bloodstream it goes into arteries veins or capillaries?
Oxygen moves into the lungs to the alveoli in the lungs into capillaries into pulmonary veins to the heart then to arteries that go through the rest of the body.
Why does oxygen moves into lungs?
Inside the red blood cells, the iron has a great affinity for oxygen. It moves by passive diffusion from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream where it binds to the iron groups in the haemoglobin in the red blood cells.
The gas that passes into the bloodstream at the lungs is?
Oxygen
Does oxygen enter the bloodstream through the lungs the heart or the ventricles?
Lungs
What gas passes from the bloodstream into the lung?
Oxygen is the gas that passes from the lungs to the bloodstream.
Can your bloodstream store oxygen?
Your bloodstream can't store oxygen for an extended period; it just transports it from the lungs to where it is needed.
Which organ supplies a human's bloodstream with oxygen from the air, which can then be taken through the blood to the muscle cells of the arm?
The lungs supplies the bloodstream with oxygen. When we breathe in, out lungs fill with oxygen and that oxygen is taken to the heart to keep our body going.
Which organ of the body diffuses oxygen into the bloodstream?
the lungs!!
When a person inhales oxygen fills tiny air sacs in the person's lungs Next the oxygen moves from these air sacs into small blood vessels that line the lungs and then it moves into the bloodstream?
Yes. This what happens. The oxygenated blood goes to the heart and is pumped out via arteries and end up in the capillaries where the oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide and it moves into the body cells.
