Glucose: Having gone through the digestive system, it is absorbed in the small intestine into the blood. from here it can be transported to anywhere in the body
Oxygen: The oxygen is breathed into the alveoli, which are inside the lungs. these have a large surface area for absorption. The alveoli absorbs it straight into the blood.
Other useful tips
Small intestine: finger-like things called villi, these stick out of the wall of the small intestine. This is for (obviously) a bigger surface area for absorption.
Alveoli: these look like lots of bubbles, therefore having... Do i even need to say it? ... a bigger surface area for absorption

∙ 9y agoThe red blood cells carry the oxygen around, and the white blood cells protects the body for sickness. The reason why we need glucose, is for the digestive system, the digestive system takes out the glucose from the food and the small intestines absorbs it. Oxygen is need for the respiratory system, basically it brings in oxygen that is diffused in the avioli. The cardiovascular system transports the energy that has now been made to the place in which it is needed.
Energy is made from oxygen and glucose, when they both are reacted together. Oxygen enters the body by the respiratory system and the glucose enters by the digestive system. These two system link together as it's a maths formulae for energy.
When glucose and oxygen are both in the body, the cardiovascular transport it blood to the place which the blood is needed to be in the body, like the muscles.
Glucose is systematically degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. The process (respiration) releases energy which is stored in the glucose molecule.

What are the bones used for in your bodys?
Bones are used in bodys for holding them up. If you didn't have bones, you'll be a big jelly-like person on the floor. Bones are made up of cells that throw anything that makes them weak. Did you know millions of cells can fit in this period.
Which makes viral infections difficult to defeat?
The immune system must attack the bodys own cells
What does blood contain that carrys oxygen to the cells and wastes away from the cells?
Hemoglobin is what transports the oxygen in the red blood cells.
Ho does oxygen reach the cells of the body?
When you inhale in the lungs the air goes into little sacks called alveoli. In the alveoli gaseous exchange occurs this is when the carbon dioxide from the capillaries is exchanged for the oxygen you inhaled. When in the capillaries the red blood cells absorbs the oxygen and transports it around the body until all the oxygen is absorbed by the body it is then brought backed to the lungs where gaseous exchange occurs again.
What does blood carry throughout are body?
red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs through the pulmonary artery to the heart and then to the rest of the body.
What is the name for blood that has most of its oxygen given to the bodys cells is called?
Dissolved
How does the bodys cells take up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide?
because it is a tactical procedure
What system works together to provide the bodys cells with pxygen?
The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work in tandem to provide oxygen to the body's cells.
Why do cells in the epidermis flatten out and die as they reach the surface of the skin?
Lack of oxygen
In which animals does oxygen reach all cells through the process of diffusion?
Flatworms and jellyfish don't have a circulatory system and in these animals, the oxygen is diffused through the cells.
Where do red blood cells drop off oxygen?
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
What gas does inhalers put into peoples bodys?
oxygen
How does a blocked artery cause less oxygen to reach the heart?
Arteries carry blood, oxygenated by the lungs, to the cells of the body. Since the heart is a large muscle, its cells need oxygen too. When one of the arteries supplying the heart with oxygenated blood is blocked ("occluded") the oxygen cannot reach the cells supplied by that artery.
How does oxygen reach the body's cells?
Through the blood. Oxygen is drawn in by the lungs, binds to hemoglobin proteins within erythrocytes (aka red blood cells), and the erythrocytes are then pumped by the heart throughout the body, supplying all cells with oxygen.
What is a microbe that attacks bodys cells called?
Pathogens
Which systems work together to provide the bodys cells with oxygen?
The circulatory system and respiratory system work together to provide the body's cells with oxygen and to carry away the carbon dioxide that cells generate as respiratory waste. The respiratory system gets air into lungs and in the small air sacs were oxygen is transported into the blood, and the circulatory system carries the oxygen in the red blood cells and delivers it to cells in need of oxygen. The oxygen is stored in the hemoglobin in the blood, and the blood is pumped around the bodily organs by the heart, releasing oxygen at the organs.
What is the next work for canals throughout the cell?
axons neurons , cells help protect the bodys defense system against infection ..auto-immune defiency ...also oxygen
