In bone marrow (where they are initially formed), in veins, arteries, capillaries, and then into the tissues of the body.

Hemoglobin is the substance in the blood responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues. It is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to the body's tissues and organs.
Arteries withstand high pressure during systole (heart contracts), they need thick walls to prevent rupture. In fact larger amounts of elastic tissues than muscle tissues are found as it is constantly stretched and recoiled.
Blood vessels are found throughout the body, running through tissues and organs. They form a complex network that includes arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, veins bring oxygen-poor blood back to the heart, and capillaries allow for nutrient and gas exchange in tissues.
The two fibers found in the matrix of connective tissues are collagen fibers, which provide strength and flexibility, and elastic fibers, which allow tissues to stretch and recoil. These fibers work together to provide structural support and maintain the integrity of the connective tissue.
Keratin is a nonliving protein substance found in hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin. It provides structure and strength to these tissues.
The capillaries found in the alveoli, nephrons, and vili are thin-walled and narrow. This size and construction makes it easier for nutrients, oxygen, and wastes to diffuse from body tissues.
Radical arteries can be found supplying your spinal cord.
