How are nutrients transported to the cells in humans?
Via the blood.
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cells in the tissue?
Oxygen and nutrients reach cells within tissues via the bloodstream. Blood is also responsible for transporting waste away from the cells.
Nutrients in intestine are carry into body by what?
transport to the kidneys which send them to the cells in the body
What does the heart do for a body?
The heart pumps blood through the body via the cardiovascular system. Blood allows for transfer of nutrients and waste to and from cells in the body.
What does blood do when it is pumped through the body?
After being oxygenated in the lungs, the blood enters the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body via the aorta. Blood cells carry oxygen, and the liquid portion of the blood, called plasma, carries the nutrients needed by the cells to perform their life functions. As oxygen enters the body cells, carbon dioxide, as a waste product from cellular respiration, diffuses into the blood, which returns to the right atrium of the heart via the superior and and inferior vena cavae, and is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated via the right ventricle. As blood travels through the body, nutrients from the plasma enter the cells, and cell waste products enter the plasma. The liver and the kidneys cleanse the plasma portion of the blood, and nutrients are replenished via the small intestine. The plasma portion of the blood also carries hormones throughout the body, which are secreted by endocrine glands into the blood.
What else is carried by the blood as well as gases?
The blood is mainly made of Platelets, Red Blood Cells, and White Blood Cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide. Nutrients are carried through the blood, and waste is taken away via the blood. Hormones also pass through the blood.
How carbon dioxide from cell in you hand leaves your body?
Carbon dioxide, made by the cells as they do their work, moves out of the cells into the capillaries, where most of it dissolves in the plasma of the blood. Blood rich in carbon dioxide then returns to the heart via the veins.
Oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood via?
through respiratory membrane via diffusion
What the red blood cells do?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body cells via the circulatory system.
What do the red blood cells do?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body cells via the circulatory system.
How the nutrients travel to the parts of the body?
Nutrients travel from the mouth (or a blood vessel if being fed that way) to the stomach then onto the small intestines. The mucosa of the small intestines then receives the nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream via the blood vessels attached to the small intestines. The nutrients are then sent around the body via these blood vessels to the areas where these nutrients are needed.
Where does the blood travel next after returning from the blood cells?
Blood cells are part of the blood the blood doesn't return from the blood cells. Very basically, the blood is pumped from the heart through the arteries to various parts of the body. The blood does it's job of delivering necessary substances to the body's cells - such as nutrients and oxygen - and then transports waste products away from those same cells via the veins. The blood goes back to the heart where it is pumped to the lungs. In the lungs the blood is oxygenated and pumped back to various parts of the body
