Where the blood collects oxygen?
vains pass through the outer layer of the lung and the oxygen (being soluble) passes through and oxygenates the blood
How does oxygen pass from the atmosphere in the alveoli to the blood stream?
Basiclly,The air enters the lungs by traveling down the wind pipe and it goes down the bronchi and bronchioles and into the alveoli.The Alveoli let the oxygen (from the air) pass into the blood streem by leting it pass through a thin membrane.
Why does hemoglobin make blood red?
Blood contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, which contains iron, is found in red blood cells and is the ingredient that makes blood red. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to wherever it's needed throughout your body. You've probably noticed that sometimes blood is bright red, while other times it is dark red. The difference in color comes from the changing amounts of oxygen in the blood. Arteries, a type of blood vessel, carry blood away from the lungs and heart to the rest of your body. That blood is rich in oxygen, which joins with hemoglobin to give the blood its bright red color. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which have narrow walls through which tiny substances can pass, distribute oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells.
If you pass a urine test can you pass a blood test?
yes
What happens if levels of carbon dioxide or oxygen in your body change?
if the oxygen levels are too low, your muscles won't get the oxygen they need from the blood cells. if the carbon dioxide levels are too high, well, carbon dioxide is a waste product, the same thing will happen. this is why when you hold your breathe you pass out. if the muscles don't get the oxygen they need they can't move.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What is the umbilical cord contains mainly?
From the placenta, oxygen and nutritional requirements through your blood vessels directly pass into your infant's blood vessels and are carried to your infant along the umbilical cord. Blood circulates through vessels in the cord, that involves one vein that carries blood full of oxygen and nutrients from you to your infant.
Tiny blood vessels that allows food oxygen and other substance to pass the cell?
capillaries
What blood vessel provides blood to the heart?
The artery vessels provide blood to the heart.they purify the blood and pass it , while the veins take the bad blood and bring it back to the heart and purify it then the arterys pass it again to the other organs.
Do capillaries transfer waste filled blood from tissues into the pulmonary circulation?
The Capillaries transfers waste filled blood from the tissues into the Pulmonary circulation.capillariesTiny blood vessels that pass food and oxygen to cells and receive waste from cells.
What organs supply blood with oxygen in mammals?
the lungs supply the blood with oxygen, within the lungs there are alveoli which have a very thin membrane which allows oxygen to pass into the capillaries that run into the lungs hope i helped
Which blood vessels does it pass through?
pepong
Describe each parts of circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body.THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells.THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the VeinsArteriesArteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away.CapillariesCapillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances(nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.VeinsVeins carry blood back toward your heart.

Which blood vessel does blood oxygen pass through?
Oxygen and other gases pass through the capillaries.
Why are there a large number of blood vessels around each alveolus?
because the oxygen needs to pass through alveoli and there is alot of cells around to be transported!!
What body fluid directly supplies the CNS with oxygen and nutrients?
Blood. However, the delivery is slightly different than the rest of the body. In the CNS the blood filtered by the blood-brain barrier that only allows certain essential nutrients and oxygen to pass through.
