Well it doesn't actually carry food down there. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your extremities through capillaries. These are very tiny veins that branch off from the veins connected to your arteries. When you prick your finger or toe the blood that comes out is actually from one of these capillaries.

∙ 11y agoAfter oxygen passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, it is picked by the protein hemoglobin on red blood cells and carried throughout the body. In other words, oxygen is carried to a working muscle cell via the blood in the circulatory system.

∙ 10y agoThe air that you breathe in through your mouth travels to the lungs where the oxygen diffuses into the blood at the alveoli (air sacs) in your lungs. The oxygen attaches to red blood cells, which circulate throughout the body in your circulatory system. The smallest blood vessels in your circulatory system are the blood capillaries. The oxygen in the blood that is carried by the blood capillaries in your leg muscle diffuses into your leg muscle cells.

A short caption on how oxygen moves from the lungs to toe cells?
The farther away you move from the heart, speed slows. The arteries narrow, eventually branching into arterioles. (smallest artery). The blood vessels are so tiny that you and the other red blood cells have to squeeze through in single file. These are the capillaries. In the capillary you give up the oxygen molecule you've been carrying since the trip from the lungs. The oxygen moves out through the capillary walls and enters the cells of your big toe. There, the oxygen is used to release energy from food. That energy keeps the cells of your big toe alive. After oxygen is released a molecule of carbon dioxide is received, a waste product created from the energy releasing activities of those same toe cells.
