may seem surprising that half of the body's cellsare confined to 7 hemoglobin gets out to the tissues of the body, it begins to drop off its oxygen load. The first oxygen molecule is given up reluctantly, but each subsequent one As the hemoglobin picks up oxygen from the lungs and gets more saturated,

Does oxygen go into animal cells?
Yes, oxygen picked up in the lungs by the red blood cells is delivered to the individual cells of the body, where it is absorbed into the cytoplasm and taken to the mitochondria to be used in aerobic cellular respiration reactions.
What do red blood cells drop off at the lungs?
Actually, they don't drop off anything at the lungs. They do pick up oxygen. Carbon dioxide is dropped off but it is carried dissolved in the blood itself.
Where is oxygen picked up in your body?
In your lungs.
What your respiration consists of?
Respiration is all metabolic processes involved in the exchange of gasses between cells (in humans, the intake of oxygen and the output of carbon dioxide). The lungs take air in, oxygen bonds to the red blood cell's hemoglobin, gets carried through the body, deposited at the cells at which point carbon dioxide is picked up and carried back to the lungs where it is exhaled.
What does the red blood cells carry to the lungs?
The red blood cells carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
Why do red blood cells become brighter when they reach the lungs?
They appear redder because they have picked up oxygen at the lungs.
Do red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the cells in the human body?
No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.
What is picked up at the lungs by the blood vessel's?
Oxygen is picked up by the blood when it is at the lungs.
What does hemoglobin do after it leaves the cells and returns to lungs?
The carbon dioxide is released as the other parts of the hemoglobin molecule pick up more oxygen for a return trip to the cells.
Does oxygen go into animal cells?
Yes, oxygen picked up in the lungs by the red blood cells is delivered to the individual cells of the body, where it is absorbed into the cytoplasm and taken to the mitochondria to be used in aerobic cellular respiration reactions.
What is the dfference between breathing and respiration?
Breathing is the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is picked by and carried to the cardiovascular system and taken to the cells. The cells take up the oxygen and release the carbon dioxide back into the CVS and out to the lungs. The lungs take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
What do red blood cells drop off at the lungs?
Actually, they don't drop off anything at the lungs. They do pick up oxygen. Carbon dioxide is dropped off but it is carried dissolved in the blood itself.
Where does the oxygen from the lungs pass to?
oxygen from lungs pass to the blood capilleries in which it enter in red blood cells which carry 4 molecules of oxygen by combinig with one molecule of Hb Oxygen from blood transfer to cells where it helps in metabolic reaction and cellular respiration.
Do lungs have cells in them?
Yes lungs aew made of cells.
Where in your lungs does the oxygen get picked up by your blood?
alveoli
Where is oxygen picked up in your body?
In your lungs.
How does circulate in the body?
Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.
