When you breathe in oxygen you expel carbon dioxide, your bodies waste product. Your heart pumps blood from the right ventricle into the lungs where the CO2 (carbon dioxide) "jumps off" and the O2 (oxygen) "jumps on" the red blood cells. With the O2 being carried on little "handles" of the hemoglobin molecule of the red blood cells, it travels back into the heart from the lungs and is then pumped out into the body from the heart's left ventricle, through the aorta and into the body. The O2 is carried by the blood to every area and organ of the body, where it "nourishes" the cells. As the blood travels further from the heart and more waste builds, the CO2 content is higher than the O2 content and the CO2 waste is carried back to the heart by the blood, dumping its waste into the lungs and is then expelled in your breath. This gas exchange is made possible because of changes in pressure gradients.

∙ 10y agoWhen you breathe in air which contains oxygen it goes into your lungs and into the tiny little pockets called alveol. From there it moves into tiny capillaries and into pulmonary veins. The veins carry this oxygenated blood to the heart. It is pumped out into the body to the cells where the cells use it as a final electron acceptor in the ATP (energy making) process.

What happens to the Oxygen that is inhaled?
When you inhale, oxygen is absorbed by the lungs and transferred to the bloodstream through the alveoli. From there, it is carried by red blood cells to all the cells in the body where it is used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of this process, is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled.
High oxygen to low oxygen?
there is no such thing because we breath oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide
What do you breath in?
we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide.
How do praying mantis obtain oxygen?

What happens when muscles are exercised without sufficient oxygen?
well if muscles run out of oxygen you might slow down and not breath proppely and you might also die.
What happens when you take a breath?
You will trigger a panic attack. (I have them all the time). To prevent them, breath into a bag, the carbon is to limit the intake of oxygen. Too much oxygen can be a bad thing, strange but true. But I don't think it effects dogs, if it's repetative you might want to take him/her to the vet.
