I may not remember them all, but I'll try!
- From the outside of the body to the bronchioles to the aveloi membrane
- To the RBC, hemoglobin molecule
- Circulating through the body in the bloodstream to the individual cells
- pick up carbon dioxide and carry it back to the lungs for exhalation

What transport process does oxygen move across the cell membranes and into your red blood cells?
diffusion
What are two substances that are exchanged across membranes of red blood cels and muscle cells?
oxygen and carbon-dioxide
Does Mother's blood flows into the foetus through placenta.True or False?
False. The mothers blood flows through the placenta in vessels next to the foetal blood that flows in separate vessels. Oxygen and nutrients can flow from the mothers blood into the foetus' blood and carbon dioxide and waste products can flow from the foetus' blood to the mother's blood through the vessel membranes, however the two bloods will never actually mix.
Delivery of oxygen and nutrients?
Blood cells deliver oxygen and nutrients through the rest of the body. Blood is pumped through the lungs to collect oxygen.
What is the forcing of water and solutes through plasma membranes by blood pressure?
osmosis
The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?
Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
What enters the blood and leaves the blood?
Oxygen (O2) enters the blood through inhalation and is circulated throughout the body. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is filtered out of the blood as a waste product and exhaled.
What gaseous exchanges take place when deoxygenated blood goes into the lungs?
Carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled and oxygen is taken up to be circulated through the body.
What happens after animals inhale air?
The oxygen from the air they inhale is distributed to the body parts through the blood stream. The blood picks up carbon dioxide and it is exhaled into the environment.
How does the oxygen change to carbon dioxide?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygenenters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
How does your blood turn from Oxygenated to deoxygenated?
Your blood is never truly dexoygenated, but as it delivers oxygen to tissues the saturation of oxygen gets lower. When the blood reaches the alveoli of the lung oxygen diffuse from the higher concentration of the air to the lower concentration of the blood, where most of it binds to hemoglobin molecules.
Where the blood gets oxygen from?
Blood gets oxygen from the lungs. Every time you breath, the oxygen you've inhaled goes into sacs in your lungs called alveoli. The oxygen is diffused into the blood and the blood diffuses carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled
Why does blood lose oxygen in the body?
The purpose of blood is to carry oxygen to the cells of the body. This oxygen is consumed via cellular respiration, which produces water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then carried by the blood to the lungs where it is exhaled.
How does oxygen travel throughout the body?
First you breath it in and then it goes through you blood stream dropping off oxygen molecules and picking up carbon dioxide all through the body and then it goes to the lungs to get more oxygen and drop off the carbon dioxide so it can be exhaled.
Is carbon dioxide carried through blood?
Yes. It is carried through the veins to the lungs to be exhaled.
Why is it important for blood to circulate through the lungs?
Because the blood flows through tiny capillaries that are touching the air sacs in the lungs. The red blood cells release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide enters the air in the lungs and is exhaled. They the red blood cells take oxygen from air you breath in and then the oxygen-rich blood cells go back to the left side of the heart.
