The human body uses oxygen in cellular respiration to create energy by oxidizing carbohydrates (mostly sugars), fats, or protein. This process produces carbon dioxide, water, and other chemical by-products. The carbon dioxide is brought through the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is exchanged for more oxygen. The lungs exhale the carbon dioxide along with some water vapor and substantial remaining oxygen.
