The oxygen molecule is inhaled (breathed in) through the left nostril or the mouth and then goes down the trachea (windpipe) and into the bronchioles and into the alveoli (both are parts of the lung). Then the blood meets up with the oxygen molecules and turns it into oxygenated blood. This blood is fed into the blood stream and go down the arteries, then capillaries, then into the muscle where they help it work. The blood is deoxygenated and then the blood goes to the heart to be pumped round the body again and the oxygen is taken up the same way it came down and is exhaled.

I hope this helped :)

Does anaemia make you weak?

Yes anaemia can make you weak. This is because the body has a lower number of haemoglobin molecules, which are the molecules in red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. Therefore, the body tissues are receiving less oxygen and can not work as effectively.

Do oxygen molecules go to your toes?

Not only are oxygen molecules are transported to the toes (and other parts of the body), it is essential that they get there, as they are required by all the cells of the body. The oxygen molecules are carried in the blood by a protein called Haemoglobin that sits in the red blood cells. Each Haemoglobin contains four iron atoms, and each of these can coordinate an oxygen molecule. This process is easily reversible and the oxygen is released in the parts of the body where it is required.
