Red blood cells contain a chemical called hemoglobin which has the capacity to form a weak bond to oxygen molecules, so that the oxygen will be carried along, through the blood, by the hemoglobin, but will still be released by the hemoglobin later on, and will therefore be able to reach the various cells of the body, all of which need oxygen in order to metabolize food and generate chemical energy with which to function.

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 the blood have when it moves to the lungs?
The questions leads towards which physiological important gases the blood contains.When the blood moves TO the lungs it has both CO2 (carbondioxide) and O2 (oxygen). However the level of oxygen is lower, and the level of CO2 is higher than with blood coming from the lungs.
What happens to the oxygen levels in the blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
Where does blood get new oxygen?
In the lungs. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Air moves into the trachea, the bronchi and finally to the alveoli. From the alveoli oxygen diffuses into the microcapilaries (small blood vessels) of the lungs.
What part of the heart received oxygen-rich blood from the lungs?
The left atrium receives blood from the lungs. This blood moves into the left ventricle to be sent out to the body.
Oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood via?
through respiratory membrane via diffusion
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 happens to most of the air you breath into your lungs?
we breath in mostly oxygen when we breath and when that oxygen goes to our lungs it goes through the bronchi and into little air sacs called alveoli the oxygen then moves into the blood going into the red blood cells while at the same time carbon dioxide moves out of the blood and comes out of body as exhales air
What is the substance that moves from the bloodstream to the air via the lungs?
deoxygenated blood
What does oxygen and carbon dioxide do in the body?
moves out oxygen and removing in carbon dixode oxygen is necessary for life.without it no one can imagine of life. we get oxygen from atmosphere into the lungs from where it reaches to the every cell of the body. oxygeneted blood is purify blood, whereas deoxygeneted blood is impure blood. carbondioxide is necessary for plants etc. when we take breath the oxygen come in from the atmosphere to lungs and carbondioxide go out from the lungs into the atmosphere.
Why is the respiratory system dependent on circulating system?
The respiratory system draws oxygen into the lungs. The circulatory system moves blood into the lungs to pick up the oxygen and then brings the oxygen to cells in the rest of the body.
