What does oxygen diffuse into?
Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.
Where does the oxygen from air mix with blood?
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 is oxygen content of the body?
the air in his body
Where does oxygen go after its in your mouth?
After the mouth (or nose), oxygen (as part of the air) goes down your trachea, into the bronchi, and through the bronchioli, into the alveoli, where it enters the blood and gets taken via the blood to the various parts of your body.
What gas in air does your body get when you breathe in?
Your body absorbs some of the oxygen out of air in your lungs
What is the exchange of gases between the blood and air?
Diffusion. In the lungs, oxygen will diffuse into de-oxygenated blood (oxygen was removed from the blood in the body) and carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood into the lungs and expelled from your body when you breathe out.
Body cells receive oxygen and nutrients from food delivered by?
Blood does. It carries oxygen from the lungs with which you breath fresh air in. Then blood goes to the heart and is sent to the whole body with oxygen! Oxygen support the cells', and the body's life!
Will O2 diffuse from air to blood or from blood to the alveolar air?
It will be absorbed from the air into your lungs. Then when it reachs the alveolus it will diffuse from the alveolus into the blood capillaries down an oxygen concentration through diffusion where it will combine with the heamoglobin in the Red Blood Cells.
What are Air sacs in the lungs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse into and out of the blood are?
The humorus
What are the air sacs in the lungs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse into the blood?
AVEVOLIS
Air sacs in the lungs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse into and out of the blood are the?
alveoli

What is the overall function of the respiratory system?
The function of the respiratory system is to provide the body with oxygen. Oxygen enters the body through the respiratory system and is carried in blood throughout the body.
How does oxygen that is in the air get into your blood?
lungs pumps air to the heart and heart pumps air around body through blood
How does oxygen enters the body?
Oxygen enters the body by being absorbed into the blood (specifically, it is absorbed by red blood cells which contain an oxygen-carrying compound known as hemoglobin) when air is inhaled into the lungs, which have a highly porous, spongy structure which facilitates the exposure of blood to the air.
How long is blood in lung capillaries in contact with air?
Blood in the capillaries are never in direct contact with air. Blood in contact with air is called bleeding. Oxygen, carbon dioxide (and other gases) diffuse across the alveolar and capillary walls to enter the blood stream (and leave).
How are food and oxygen distributed or brought to the different cells if the body?
When your food is ingested, it is broken down by enzymes. Glucose and amino acids are some of the products formed from the breaking down of food, and they are absorbed into the blood by the small intestines. The blood carrying the nutrients will then be pumped to the rest of the body after it returns to the heart. As for oxygen, when you inhale, oxygen in the lungs diffuse into your bloodstream via small blood vessels surrounding your air sacs. This oxygenated blood then returns to the heart and is pumped to the rest of the body. So in short, they are transported by the circulatory system.
