CO2 enters the blood through the muscles like biceps, triceps, cells of various body parts and tissues and the internal organs. This happens because they use Oxygen, which we inhale, to break down Glucose and get energy.

It is a chemical reaction which takes place between Oxygen and Glucose which releases CO2 and Water (Oxygen+Glucose ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water). This reaction releases energy, and therefore is exothermic. The water is used up and the CO2 is taken away by the blood to the lungs, where it is exhaled out.

Where does the oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves?

Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.


What organ does the oxygen-carbon Dioxide take place?

Oxygen is brought into the blood, and carbon dioxide released from the blood, at the alveoli of the lungs. Gases diffuse across the alveolar membrane to enter or leave the blood.

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).


Where does oxygen enter the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it?

Oxygen enters the blood through the alveoli in the lungs during inhalation, where it diffuses into the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide leaves the blood in the same location, diffusing from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled during exhalation.


What principles govern whether oxygen or carbon dioxide to enter and leave the blood in the lungs and in the tissue?

Diffusion


Where in a mammal's body does oxygen enter the bloodstream?
