How are oxygen levels measured?
Oxygen levels in the blood are measured with a pulse oxymeter that measures by shining a light through the finger tip, with or blood gas tests run in a laboratory. Lab could be venous or arterial, usually arterial.
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.
Which substance transports oxygen in the blood?
red blood cells
How does blood absorb oxygen?
In the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs into the blood in the capillaries lining the alveoli. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen-rich blood to tissues throughout the body, where oxygen is released for cellular respiration.
What organ does not recieive oxygen from blood?
The cornea in the eye does not receive oxygen from blood. Instead, it gets its oxygen directly from the air.
Does skin bring oxygen to the blood?
Not in humans. We don't have nearly enough surface area to supply our cells by this method.

What if oxygen-rich blood mixes with your oxygen-poor blood?
the quality of our blood that rich with oxygen will become low
Why does blood circulate from the heart to the lungs?
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
How does oxygen travel from person lungs to tissues and organ?
Oxygen travels through the respiratory system. First, it enters through the mouth or the nasal cavity. Then, it goes down the trachea, or the windpipe, and into the lungs, where it is brought into the blood by the alveoli. Carbon dioxide is also exiting out of the body through the same way, but backwards.
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
What makes the blood red and it carries oxygen in the blood?
oxygen is the answer
How is oxygen transferred to the blood?
oxygen is transferred to the blood by breathing
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen-poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.

What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
