As oxygen enters the body it will travel down the trachea (throat), through the bronchioles (tubes leading to the lungs), and into the lungs. In the lungs there are very tiny grape-like-sacs called alveoli. The membrane on these sacks is very thin, and they are surrounded by many tiny capillaries (blood vessels) whose membrane is also very thin. It is here where oxygen from the alveoli enters the capillaries, and carbon dioxide (waste product) from the capillaries enters the alveoli. The oxygen is now carried through the blood to the heart where it is pumped throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide, now in the alveoli, is expelled as the person exhales. In a situation of altitude it is this process that is hindered. Because of the lower pressure of oxygen the oxygen does not enter the capillaries as easily and the body is deprived of oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
What does the circulatory systems do?
Allows for oxygen to be transported to the cells in your body, and transport the body's waste products out of the body.
What membrane serves as the boundary between the cell and its environment allows materials such as oxygen and nutrients to enter and waste products to leave?
The Plasma membrane.
When lungs inhale oxygen what does it exhale as waste?
when lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste
Humans breath in oxygen and realease gas?
Yes, humans breathe in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide as a waste product of cellular respiration. This process allows the body to produce energy from food.
What is the waste from photosynthesis?
Oxygen
Which is not a metabolic waste?
oxygen
When the lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste?
when lungs inhale oxygen what does it exhale as waste
What is the waste product for plants of photosynthesis?
The waste product for plants in photosynthesis is oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of the process.
How does the cell wall help the cell?
Prevents foreign material from entering the cell; and allows nutrients and oxygen to enter while letting metabolites (waste or functional chemicals) out.

Does a sunflower provide oxygen?
No. Oxygen is a waste gas produced by plants. They "inhale" carbon dioxide and "exhale" oxygen.
What is the purpose of an oxygen colon cleanse?
A oxygen colon cleanse is a great way to clean out your colon which can allow for the comfort of stomach pain and also allows you to have a much cleaner body. This will allow you to feel a great bit better.
