the un-oxygenated blood is pumped into the lungs where the oxygen is transfused out of the tiny air sacks or avioli before being pumped back to the heart and around the body

What transports oxygen to cells in body?

ways of transporting oxygen (presumably in the human body you are referring to) it is carried in the blood as part of the circulatory system-it is picked up from the lungs through alveoli -majorly carried in the blood as oxyhaemoglobin (oxygen combined with haemoglobin in red blood cells) -some can be dissolved in the blood plasma


What blood cells contain haemoglobin?

Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body


What do red blood cells carry besides carbon dioxide?

the red blood cells carry carbon dioxide and oxygen that it gets from the lungs when you breath.the blood gets its color from when the red blood cells pick up the oxygen. oh and by the way red blood cells are also called erthrocytes


What carries oxygen to the cells of the body?

Oxygen is carried to the cells of the body by red blood cells through the bloodstream. Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body for cellular respiration.


Which type of cell is used to carry oxygen in blood?

Red blood cells carry oxygen by binding oxygen molecules to hemoglobin (an iron-based molecule).White blood cells fight infections and other germs, and platelets clot cuts. You need to intake a certain amount of iron to form the hemoglobin that holds oxygen on your red blood cells. If you don't, you can become "anemic" and you will get tired more quickly.Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen in the body. The protein hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen to deliver it to the other cells in the body.

Where do red blood cells get oxygen?

If by that you mean where they get their own oxygen, then from nowhere because red blood cells do not need oxygen, they perform all reactions anaerobically.If you mean where they get it to give off for the rest of your body, then its from the lungs.
