Oxygen is passed from the air to the blood through the process of diffusion in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are surrounded by tiny blood vessels called capillaries, where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream to be exhaled.

Where is oxygen added to your blood?

Oxygen is added to your blood in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. When you inhale, oxygen from the air passes through the alveolar walls and enters the bloodstream, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then transported throughout the body to supply tissues and organs.
