Oxygen travels through the respiratory system. First, it enters through the mouth or the nasal cavity. Then, it goes down the trachea, or the windpipe, and into the lungs, where it is brought into the blood by the alveoli. Carbon dioxide is also exiting out of the body through the same way, but backwards.

What do red blood cell transport from tissues?
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
Capillaries are to body tissues as are to lungs?
oxygen
Do lunges transport oxygen to tissues?
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
What is the major function of the lungs in a human body?
The major function of the lungs is gas exchange. Gas exchange requires the entire cardiopulmonary system which includes the heart, lungs, and blood vessels (arteries,arterioles,capillaries,veins),. At the capillaries which is the smallest vessels with thin walls permitting diffusion and gas exchange the carbon dioxide (C02) and oxygen (02) are exchanged. It is the capillaries that allows tissues to be supplied with the essential oxygen that they need and allows the tissues get rid of the toxic waste products including C02. The waste products will travel back to the veins, back to the heart where they then go to the lungs and are expired. When an individual inhales, the oxygen is taken in via alveoli in the lungs, travel to the heart then to the arteries and then to the tissues. and the cycle continues...
Main function of RBc?
The main function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen to tissues from the lungs and carbon dioxide out from the tissues to the lungs to breathed out of the body
What part do red blood cells have in the oxygen carbon dioxide exchange?
The hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the rest of the body, where it releases the oxygen to the tissues and collects the resultant carbon dioxide bringing it back to the lungs to be exhaled.
Why do you need your circulatory system to keep tissues all over your body alive?
as this gives oxygen to your lungs as you need air to breathe!
What does pnuemonia prevent?
This prevents the lungs from taking in sufficient oxygen, which deprives the blood and the rest of the body's tissues of oxygen.
The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues is?
The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues would be "Hemoglobin".
What is an erythrocyte's job?
An erythrocyte's main job is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination. This process is facilitated by the red blood cell's hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the function of heomoglobin?
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the bodies tissues, and carries carbon dioxide from the bodies tissues to the lungs.
What is the oxygen association reaction that occurs in the lungs?
As the blood passes though the pulmonary circulation, oxygen within the lungs binds with the hemoglobin and is carried from the lungs back to the heart and then from there on to the active tissues of the body.
