Air will not touch your blood until it is release to outside the skin. In most veins at least. Wren oxygen touches the blood, it turns red, but normally is blue. Oxygen may be circulating in your veins, but will not mix with the blood cells. The above is only half true. Oxygen mixes with your blood in the capillaries inside your lungs. The blood then transfers over to your arteries where it travels the body to deliver the oxygen to your muscles and other organs.

What happens when the air and the blood mixes?
Air and blood in a medical setting, such as dialysis are not supposed to mix. When blood and air mix, the clotting process begins to occur.
Why is oxygen used for the air?
We need oxegen for air because if we breath to much CO2 we will die but we need a mix of both.
Does oxygen and other gases enters the nose and travel down to the windpipe but only the oxygen enters the lungs?
They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.
Is there a way to filter oxygen out from the air?
Yes, you can press air trough a nanofilter and press the smaller molecules out of the air mix leaving the heavyer particles behind.
Will a balloon filled with oxygen rise?
it blows up

Mix of mostly nitrogen and oxygen?
air
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Is there two blood types that cannot mix?
In humans, oxygen-rich blood (from the lungs) must not mix with oxygen-poor blood (from other cells). We have 4-chambered heart to ensure there is no mixing. However, some animals (such as alligators) have no problem letting their blood mix.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen-rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.

From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
Why you inhale oxygen only?
when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium
What does a mix of nitrogen and oxygen make?
nitrous oxide? <><><><> Air you are breathing right this second is a mix of nitrogen (79%) and oxygen (21%)
Do the mother's blood supply and the embryo's blood supply flow together?
The mother's blood and the embryo's blood do not mix freely. The placenta allows for the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients, but does not allow the actual blood to mix.
Why do the air you breathe out contain no oxygen?
The oxygen in the air you breathe in is absorbed via the lungs into the blood.
What has more oxygen air sacs or blood?
air sacs
