I don't know for sure, but my educated guess is that oxygen does not diffuse through the skin. If it did diffuse through the skin then we probably wouldn't have lungs since we would just absorb it through our skin.

∙ 14y agoHumans breathe in air, from which the lungs remove oxygen by adding it to the red blood cells. The lungs exhale carbon dioxide returned by the blood cells from all the parts of the body. Humans typically remove less than 25% of the total oxygen that reaches the lungs, so exhaled air still contains oxygen.

What substance will diffuse through a membrane?
The three substances that can diffuse through a cell membrane are CO2, O2, AND H2O.
What is an example of molecules that diffuses into a cell?
water
What particles can diffuse directly through the lipid bi-layer?
As the bilayer contains hydrophobic fatty acid tails, water-soluble molecules cannot diffuse directly through. However, lipid soluble molecules such as oxygen can diffuse directly through. Overall, for a molecule to be able to diffuse directly through it must be lipid-soluble, relatively small and non-polar.
What animals with skin that can absorb water and oxygen?
Amphibians
How many layers of cells does oxygen diffuse through before it reaches a red blood cell?
millions of cells
In an earthworm is a respiratory system evident?
Earthworms breath through their skin, earthworms diffuse oxygen through a network of thin-walled capillaries which are found just under the skin.

Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of what?

What particles could diffuse easily through a cell membrane sodium and oxygen?

How do you resive oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are moved to and from body tissues via the circulatory system. These materials diffuse through the cell membrane, and then diffuse through the capillary wall into or out of the bloodstream.
