Where do red blood cells get oxygen?
If by that you mean where they get their own oxygen, then from nowhere because red blood cells do not need oxygen, they perform all reactions anaerobically.If you mean where they get it to give off for the rest of your body, then its from the lungs.
How oxygen is transported?
Oxygen is transported with the help of Red blood cells as the red blood cells contain haemoglobin to can carry oxygen from one place to another.
How does oxygen move?
Oxygen moves through your red blood cells.
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
What is the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
Where do red blood cells drop off oxygen?
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
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 blood get rid of carbon dioxide?
No. The red blood cells get oxygen at the lungs, not drop off carbon dioxide.
How does oxygen travel throughout the body?
First you breath it in and then it goes through you blood stream dropping off oxygen molecules and picking up carbon dioxide all through the body and then it goes to the lungs to get more oxygen and drop off the carbon dioxide so it can be exhaled.
Where red blood cells drop off carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen?
Yes, some CO2 is returned to the lungs by hemoglobin transport.
Where do red blood cells get oxygen?

Do the red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs?
Yes, they do. The haemoglobin in biconcave red blood cells picks up the oxygen at the lungs, and drops it off at a respiring cell.
What cells help you get oxygen?
Red Blood cells help you get oxygen to your cells
Which cells in your body need oxygen?
Red blood cells perform the most important blood duty. A single drop of blood contains millions of red blood cells which are constantly traveling through your body delivering oxygen and removing waste. If they weren't, your body would slowly die.
Red blood cells fight infection?
i dont think they do, i think it is just white blood cells
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
How do red and white blood cells help us?
White Blood Cells Kill Off Viruses While Red Blood Cells Supply Oxygen To The Body.
