What is the lungs purpose?
The lungs take in oxygenated air and gets it to the blood. It then releases the carbon dioxide out of your body.
What happens to the oxygen levels in the blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
Where does blood go AFTER it leaves the pulmonary arteries?
Blood leaves the pulmonary artery and travels into the lungs. In the lungs the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
Where does the heart pump blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide?
The heart pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the lungs, where blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
What thing releases carbon dioxide into the air?
Lungs! =)
Where in a mammal's body does oxygen enter the bloodstream?

How you get carbon dioxide out?
The same hemoglobin molecules that absorb oxygen in the lungs release it to the cells in the capillaries and pick up carbon dioxide from the cells. When the blood returns to the lungs, the hemoglobin releases the carbon dioxide and replaces it with fresh oxygen. The carbon dioxide released by the hemoglobin travels across the membranes in the lungs and is breathe out when we exhale.
What part do red blood cells have in the oxygen carbon dioxide exchange?
The hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the rest of the body, where it releases the oxygen to the tissues and collects the resultant carbon dioxide bringing it back to the lungs to be exhaled.
What supplies oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood stream?
Lungs and Lungs. Blood that contains carbon dioxide means it is lacking oxygen, and the carbon dioxide was put into the blood as a waste product by all the other organs. The blood then reaches the lungs and exchanges the carbon dioxide for oxygen. The now oxygen-rich blood is transported to the heart where it is pumped throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide is exhaled from the lungs.
Where does blood get rid of carbon dioxide?
No. The red blood cells get oxygen at the lungs, not drop off carbon dioxide.
