respiratory system.

Oxygen diffuses across the alveoli into the pulmonary capillaries, then binds to haemoglobin to become oxyhaemoglobin, whichi is carried by red blood cells (erythrocytes) around the circulation until it reaches an area of low oxygen content where it simply diffuses from the circulation to the area of low oxygen.

Hope this helps.

What part of the body carries oxygen?

The air carries oxygen to your body when it is inhaled into your lungs.The blood carries oxygen through you body to the vcells that use it as part of their metabolism.


How often does your blood travel through your body?

On average, your blood travels through your body about once every minute.


Where is oxygen taken into the body?

Oxygen is taken into the body through the respiratory system when we breathe in air into our lungs. The respiratory system includes the nose, mouth, trachea, bronchi, and lungs, where the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to all the cells in the body.


How does the cardiovascular and respiratory system work together to maintain homeostasis?

Through gas exchange. The respiratory system provides oxygen which, combined with glucose from your food, is used by your cells to produce energy (cell rspiration). The cardiovascular system transports the oxygen to the cells. The waste products of cell respiration are carbon dioxide and water, which are also transported by the cardiovascular system. The carbon dioxide passes into the lungs and is then breathed out.


How does the circulatory system get oxygen and sugar to all the cells in the body?

When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen from the alveoli diffuse into the capillaries and is taken up by red blood cells. There it binds to hemoglobin. The red blood cells will travel through the arteries to the tissues where the oxygen will disassociate itself from the hemoglobin and diffuse into the tissues (cells).

Blood carries food and what to every cell in the body?

Blood doesn't carry food, food travels through the digestive system (Look it up) Blood carries oxygen and iron.


Why is oxygen poor blood pumped to the lungs?

The lungs take in oxygen, this oxygen travels down to the alveoli (thin, permeable sacs), which are covered in blood vessels, and the oxygen travels into the blood due to a pressure difference and CO2 goes from the blood to the lungs to be exhaled. The body needs that oxygen for almost every system in the body.


How do the cardiovascular and respiratory system interact?

Answerwhen oxygen is added to blood in lungs that blood is sent to our heart for pumping. and our heart also send deoxygenated blood to lung for oxygentaion. this is where the cardivascular and respiratory system interactsWhen you inhale air, it travels through your respiratory system. The vessels of the cardiovascular system interact with the lungs of the respiratory system. The blood in the vessels picks up oxygen in the lungs and carries the oxygen to every cell in the body.

How does oxygen enter the lungs?

How does oxygen get from the lungs into the blood?"The red blood cells go to your lungs and they receive the oxygen you breathe in and take it all around the body and then you exhale which is when the blood returns back to the lungs.you are probably in Mr. Good's class or is getting the Circulatory System packet that is part of the Life Science textbook.


Does the respiratory system bring oxygen to the brain?

Yes, the respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through inhalation, and this oxygen is carried by the blood to the brain where it is used for various brain functions. This process is essential for the brain to function properly.


What gas travels through the respiratory airways?

Several of them do, every time you breathe. They include helium, neon, argon, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen. They are thoroughly mixed, and we call the mixture "air".

What delivers oxygen to your blood?

Oxygen is delivered to your blood through the process of respiration in the lungs. When you breathe, oxygen from the air is absorbed into your bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries in the lungs. This oxygen-rich blood is then circulated throughout your body to supply oxygen to your tissues and organs.

How is oxygen moved to every celling the body?

Oxygen is transported through the blood stream by Hemoglobin.


When oxygen reaches this organ how is it delivered to every single cell in the body?

When oxygen reaches the lungs, it enters the alveoli, where it diffuses into the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells. The heart then pumps these oxygen-rich red blood cells through the circulatory system, delivering oxygen to tissues and cells throughout the body via capillaries. Oxygen is released from hemoglobin and diffuses into cells, where it is used for cellular respiration to produce energy. This efficient transport system ensures that every cell receives the oxygen it needs to function.
