On average, an adult human lung can hold about 6 liters of air, which includes approximately 20-21% oxygen. This means that in a single breath, you can store around 1-1.2 liters of oxygen in your lungs.
False. Lungs do not store oxygen. Oxygen is continuously delivered to the bloodstream and circulation by the lungs, where it is then transported to cells throughout the body.
No, the lungs do not store several hours' worth of oxygen. The lungs continuously supply oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide for exhalation. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood in the lungs and transported to tissues throughout the body, where it is used for cellular respiration.
On average, the total lung capacity of an adult is around 6 liters of air. However, the actual amount of oxygen contained in the lungs at any given time is much less as not all the air inhaled is oxygen. The volume of oxygen in the lungs typically ranges from 2-3 liters.
Yes, when we breathe in, oxygen from the air enters our lungs. This oxygen is then absorbed into the bloodstream through tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli.
Oxygen is taken in by the lungs through the process of inhalation. When you breathe in, air containing oxygen enters the lungs through the trachea and bronchial tubes, eventually reaching the alveoli where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Your bloodstream can't store oxygen for an extended period; it just transports it from the lungs to where it is needed.
They have lungs, and process oxygen much like we do.
No, the [urinary] bladder does. The lungs are involved in the delivery of oxygen to the body and the excretion of carbon dioxide.
In your blood. The protein hemoglobin carries oxygen-molecules between the lungs and the peripheral tissues and organs.
Penguins use their lungs to breath.
when you are running and if u continue to run your lungs will get bigger and will be able to store more air
Your lungs circulate oxygen every time you inhale and exhale. They travel through your body when you inhale to the lungs and the lungs store the oxygen, and as you exhale, carbon dioxide from the air is released.
because your lungs arnt that big
Gills are more efficient at obtaining oxygen, but there is much more oxygen in air to breath through the lungs.
Because your body needs oxygen. They have a dent to store oxygen and carry it from the lungs, to the rest of the body.
