oxygen (O2) enters the body via respiration (breathing) it enters small pouches in the lungs called alveoli. these alveoli are surrounded by tiny blood vessels called capillaries. there is an exchange at these alveoli, carbon dioxide (CO2) exits the blood and O2 enters the blood. this freshly oxygenated blood is now returned via the pulmonary vein to the Left side of the heart. the left ventricle pumps blood to the body. as the blood vessels get smaller they again form capillaries. there is another exchange of gasses, O2 is transferred out to the cells and CO2 (the waste product from cellular metabolism) is transferred to the blood. the Deoxygenated blood is then returned via the venous system to the right side of the heart. the deoxygenated blood is pumped back to the lungs and the alveoli via the pulmonary artery. and then the whole cycle starts over again.
hope this helps :)
