Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.

What cell Carries Oxygen in Haemoglobin?
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) have hemoglobin. Hemoglobin picks up oxygen, like giving a piggy-back ride. The RBCs in the blood circulate throughout the body.
What happens to your heart rate when oxygen levels go down and carbon dioxide levels go up?
It will speed up and beat harder (both heart rate and stroke volume increase) to try and circulate more blood around the body which contains oxygen.
Why does blood need to circulate?
All the cells in the human body naturally produce waste products due to normal cellular processes, these waste products could accumulate in the blood and body if they were not removed through filtration.
What is the main job of the red cells in the blood?
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the circulatory system, which allows the tissue cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration. The red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it through the arteries in the body to the tissues. When they reach the smallest vessels, capillaries, oxygen is easily dropped off and the cells make their way back to the heart and then into the lungs. They will continue this cycle for about 100-120 days. Because the body is always making new blood, it is safe, under most circumstances, to donate blood.
About how many times do they circulate in the body before they die?
yes because the answer is correct
What will happen to the body if blood fails to circulate?
The person will die if the blood does not circulate. Blood is necessary to supply food and oxygen to the body.
Do heart chambers circulate oxygen throughout the body?
yes
How long does it take oxygen to circulate throughout your body?
1year and 2 hours
What two types of blood circulate throughout the body?
oxygen blood cells and non-oxygen blood cells
Is the heart the muscular pump that provide the force necessary to circulate oxygen throughout the body?
Yes.
What is the fucntion of circulatory system?
To circulate hemoglobin to all the organs of the body. This hemoglobin contains oxygen which is essential for the working of the body
What does blood circulate that the body needs?
Blood circulates to provide nutrients and remove wastes in body tissues.
Where do arthorpods get their oxygen?
Arthropods have trachea through which air can circulate. Arthropods have very small openings in their body through which oxygen enters and is distributed throughout their system.
What is the job of your blood vessels?
Your blood vessels circulate blood, gases (E.G., oxygen), and nutrients to tissues throughout your body.
What other organisms besides plants and animals need oxygen to live?
Cells, that's why your body needs to circulate oxygenated blood!
Why does the blood in your body circulate?
to keep you alive Added: To bring nutrients and, most importantly, oxygen to the cells of the body. Yo carry waste, including carbon dioxide, away from the cells of the body.
