How many red blood cell is capable of transporting oxygen molecules?
each Red blood cell is capable of transporting oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from what blood cells?
Cells in the blood do not provide nutrients to the other cells of the body. The nutrients are in the blood plasma (liquid). These nutrient diffuse through the vessel wall and travel to the bodies cells in the interstitial fluid (the fluid around individual cells). The epidermis does not have blood vessel running through it, so the nutrient must pass from the dermis layer of cells.

What tissue is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients through the body?

Nutrients travel from the digestive system to each cell of the body in the of blood?
Plasma in the blood.
Nutrients travel from the digestive system to each cell of the body in the blood?
Plasma in the blood.
Is the nutrients travel through the deoxygenated blood to reach the body cell?
Nutrients and oxygen diffuse through the capillaries, due to diffusion.
How the nutrients travel to the parts of the body?
Nutrients travel from the mouth (or a blood vessel if being fed that way) to the stomach then onto the small intestines. The mucosa of the small intestines then receives the nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream via the blood vessels attached to the small intestines. The nutrients are then sent around the body via these blood vessels to the areas where these nutrients are needed.
Which human body system transports nutrients to the cells?

The nutrients travel from the digestive system to each cell of the body in the?
