blood is used as a method of transportation in the body, blood goes to the longs to transport oxygen into the longs, the oxygen travles in the lungs into the aveoli (small air-sacks) were the oxygen cells go through the capilary walls and is synthesized into energy for the body. this is why when you run, you breathe faster, your body is trying to make energy.

i think this is right, i kindoff remember this from school 2 years ago...
