Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells to be transported throughout the body. Oxygen can stay in your blood for a few seconds to a few minutes before it is either utilized by cells for energy production or released back into the bloodstream to be carried away by the lungs for exhalation.

What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?

I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.

How do blood circulates oxygen and nutrients throughout the body?

Oxygen and nutrients are carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body, where cells absorb oxygen and nutrients from the blood. The deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart and lungs to pick up more oxygen.
