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
