Where in a mammal's body does the oxygen enter the bloodstream?

Oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveoli in the lungs. When you breathe, oxygen from the air diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport throughout the body.


Does the stomach takes air into the body?

The stomach does not take in air as its primary function. However, it is possible for air to enter the stomach when swallowing food or beverages, which can lead to bloating or flatulence.


How does saturation happen?

Saturation happens when the air cannot hold any more water vapor, leading to condensation and the formation of clouds or precipitation. It can occur when the temperature of the air drops, when moisture is added to the air, or when the air is cooled to its dew point.


What are examples of substances that enter or leave the body?

What are the three primary ways radioactive isotopes can enter the body?

Radioactive isotopes can enter the body primarily through inhalation, ingestion, and absorption through the skin. Inhalation occurs when radioactive particles are breathed in, often from contaminated air. Ingestion happens when radioactive materials are consumed through food, water, or contaminated surfaces. Absorption can occur when radioactive substances come into contact with the skin or through wounds.
