What is the process by which oxygen enters the blood in the lung and leaves it in the body tissues?

Oxygen enters the lungs through inhalation. It is transfered through the thin alveolar tissue to the red blood cells of the pulmonary arteries through an intricate diffusion process. More specifically, the oxygen is bound by the hemoglobin contained within the RBC's. This oxygenated (red) blood is circulated throughout the body until it reaches the capillaries. Tissue is then supplied oxygen by a process called perfusion, the unloading of the oxygen bound within hemoglobin to the surrounding cells. The deoxygenated blood is returned back to the heart for a new cycle. The oxygen is to be used in oxidative phosphorylation (the creation of cellular energy) to continue healthy tissue function

Why is it different when the composition of the air as it enters the lung compaerd to when it leaves the lung?
The air that enters the lungs is richer in oxygen when it enters the lungs. when it leaves it has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen as the lungs expel carbon dioxde and some unused oxygen.
How wiil you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon dioxide and blood flow?
Blood flows in a circle from lungs to tissues and back. At the lungs O2 gets into the blood and CO2 gets out - at the tissues O2 leaves the blood and CO2 enters.
What leaves the body cells and enters the blood then leaves the blood cells and enters the lungs?
NUTRIENTS AND OXYGEN also water, minerals, and vitamins
What is the place where oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide leaves it?
The nose.
In which process is it when oxygen enters the lungs?
Inhalation/Inspiration
What comes in and out of a stomata?
oxygen enters and glucose is released... follow on instagram @nailsbyisis
What are stomata in leaves?
it is wher the oxygen and carbon dioxide both enters and exit.:)
Through what process does the water enter the stems of the plant?
good question. it travels through its roots and all around to the leaves. like our body with oxygen
Why is the blood that enters the heart from systemic circulation oxygen poor?
Systemic circulation circulates through body tissues but not the lungs.
Why is the blood the enters the heart from the systemic circulation oxygen-poor?
Systemic circulation circulates through body tissues but not the lungs.
How does oxygen enter the leaf?
Oxygen moves through leafy plants through the "stoma, pleural: stomata". They are small pores in the leaf that can open and close to allow gas exchange. However, most plants exhale oxygen (O2) and inhale carbon dioxide (CO2), so oxygen is generally leaving a plant.
Where is the place where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood?
Oxygen is entered through the mouth and carbon dioxide is released out of the mouth.
