Best Answer

Oxygen, inhaled through the lungs for most animals, puts oxygen into blood as it passes by small parts of the lungs call alveoli. This oxygenated blood flows all over the body, eventually bringing oxygen and other molecules to the cells via capillaries, the smallest of the chambers that carry blood. Once inside the cell, oxygen is used in a process called cell respiration, which creates ATP (the main source of energy for cell processes)
