Lungs
red blood cells take away carbon dioxide from the oxygen
Red blood cells.
The primary function of white blood cells is to fight infection. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, and carbon dioxide as a waste product away from the tissues and back to the lungs.
Oxygen is carried in the blood by attaching to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells. When the blood reaches cells that need oxygen, it is released from hemoglobin and diffuses into the cells. Carbon dioxide is mainly transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions, which are formed when carbon dioxide reacts with water in red blood cells.
Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.
Oxygen, carbon dioxide
from the lungs
Red Blood cells transport oxygen to the cells, and they then take carbon dioxide from the cells.
No. The red blood cells get oxygen at the lungs, not drop off carbon dioxide.
Red blood cells carry carbon dioxide away from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
This process occurs in the capillaries of the lungs. Here, oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into red blood cells in exchange for carbon dioxide, which then diffuses out of the red blood cells and is exhaled from the body.
Red blood cells, corpuscles, transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body, and carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs.
