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

∙ 16y agoYou don't inhale Oxygen only, You inhale air (78% Nitrogen gas, 20%Oxygen et.al.). You then remove a small amount of Oxygen from the air and add a small amount of Carbon Dioxide.

How do you measure oxygen capture?
inhale and exhale into a balloon.
Why does oxygen diffusion from the alveolus to the alveolar capillary occur?
Diffusion (of anything) occurs because of a concentration gradient meaning there is more oxygen in one place than another. Alveolus when you inhale will have a higher concentration of oxygen that that of the alveolar capillary resulting in a concentration gradient, this causing diffusion to occur until equilibrium is met. This means more oxygen in alveolus so oxygen travels into the alveolar capillary until a balanced amount of oxygen is in both places, but then of course the oxygen is transported and you exhale and inhale so the process repeats.
How does air enters the body?
Air enters the body when you inhale (Breathe in) air enters through the mouth and into the lungs. and then exhale (Breathe out) carbon dioxide (CO2)
What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
Do animals inhale carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Nope -- they do just exactly the opposite: inhale and use oxygen, and exhale more carbon dioxide, just as all mammals do. This was an old wive's tale that's been around for years, that goes on to say cats can suck away a baby's breath -- which has no basis in fact whatsoever.
When you inhale you breathe in what?
When you inhale you breath in oxygen
What do you inhale?

When lungs inhale oxygen what does it exhale as waste?
when lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste
Why do cats inhale oxygen?
Why do we all inhale oxygen.. every single animal in the world needs oxygen. Fish too
Why man takes only oxygen while a no of gases present in our environment?
we only inhale only oxygen becuse in our lungs only hole of oxygen molecule while other gases can not be in and exhale through mouth
Do humans inhale oxygen?
Yes, humans inhale oxygen through their lungs. Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration, where it is used in the process of generating energy for the body's functions.
Which do you inhale when you breath oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Both! your body only keeps the oxygen though and when you breath out the carbon ddioxide comes out
When the lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste?
when lungs inhale oxygen what does it exhale as waste
Do arctic wolves inhale and exhale oxygen?
Like all animals, they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Which do you inhale when you breathe oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Oxygen
Do parrots inhale oxygen?
Yes, all animals inhale oxygen. Parrots breathe through their nostrils as opposed to their mouths.
Do cats inhale when they yawn?
When cats yawn they inhale a large amount of oxygen.
