Nerve cells receive blood and oxygen through a network of small blood vessels called capillaries. These capillaries are located close to nerve cells in order to deliver nutrients and oxygen for their metabolic needs. The brain, for example, has a dense network of capillaries to ensure a constant supply of blood and oxygen to nerve cells.

What supplies oxygen to the cells of blood vessels?
Red blood cells supply oxygen to the cells of blood vessels through the hemoglobin protein. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to the cells as blood circulates throughout the body.
What organ provides oxygen to cells?
The lungs provide oxygen to cells by extracting oxygen from the air we breathe and delivering it to the blood. The blood then carries the oxygen to all cells in the body.
How does the oxygen we breathe get to all the cells in our body?
Oxygen is transported in the blood by red blood cells. When we breathe, oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream in the lungs and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The heart then pumps the oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen to all cells via the circulatory system.
What supplies oxygen to the cells?
Blood delivers oxygen to the cells through the red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the different tissues in the body where it is needed for cellular respiration.
Which substance transports oxygen in the blood?
red blood cells
What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
Blood cells are called erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Nerve cells are called neurons.
Do nerve cells carry oxygen to the body?
No they don't. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all cells in our body. Red blood cells are made in our bone marrow, live for 120 days and are destroyed in our spleens. At any one time we have red blood cells of all ages floating in our blood. Red blood cells account for 45% of the volume of our blood.
How do nerve cells muscle cells and blood cells compare?
nerve cells give you your sense of touch, feel, smell, and hearing. Blood cells depends on what type of blood you are talking about white blood cells help protect your body from sickness and red blood cells carry oxygen to your lungs allowing you to breath both are essential for living
What does a nerve cell and red blood cell have in common?
Both nerve cells and red blood cells are specialized cells in the body with specific functions. Nerve cells transmit electrical impulses for communication in the nervous system, while red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues. Both types of cells lack a nucleus, allowing for more space to carry out their respective functions efficiently.
Where do blood cells receive oxygen?
Blood cells receive oxygen in the lungs. Oxygen is inhaled through the air sacs in the lungs and diffuses into the bloodstream where it binds with hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then pumped by the heart to the rest of the body's tissues and organs.
What are the blood cells that transport oxygen?
red blood cells transport oxygen :)
What blood cells fight germs and what blood cells carry oxygen?
White blood cells fight germs and red blood cells carry oxygen.
Do nerve cells and blood cells the same shape?
No - they have very different shapes in order to perform their specific functions. Nerve cells are long with branched 'dendrites' at the end. There are many different blood cells, one of which - red blood cells - are almost circular with an indent in the middle.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
What two types of blood circulate throughout the body?
oxygen blood cells and non-oxygen blood cells
Which one of these three carry oxygen to the cells in your body red blood cells white blood cells or platelets?
Your red blood cells carry oxygen.
What carries blood cells?
Red blood cells carry primarily oxygen
