Capillaries allow Glucose and oxygen to move out of the blood in the capillaries into interstitial fluid and into the cells. Fluid is exchanged between capillary blood and interstitial fluid.

What carries the nutrient and oxygen throughout the body?

The blood. For oxygen specifically, the hemoglobin or red blood cells. "Food" per se does not travel around the body at all; our stomachs and intestines break down the food we eat into simple sugars, starches and proteins, which then are picked up by the blood and carried around with the oxygen.


Can cells live without soil?

Yes, certain types of cells can live without soil. Cultured cells in a laboratory setting, for example, can survive and grow in a nutrient-rich liquid medium without the need for soil. Additionally, cells in multicellular organisms can also survive without direct contact with soil as long as they can receive essential nutrients and support from their environment.


Where does blood get oxygen from?

Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.


Why is oxygen important to your human body?

Oxygen is important cells as without oxygen the human body is unable to release enough energy to support life. In theory any other element in the oxygen-group on the Periodic Table can be used to release energy but because other elements in that group are not easily turned into gases they can't used. Last comment; Oxygen is not important for blood; its important for the blood cells themselves and other cells. Blood and blood cells are very different.


Why do human need oxygen to survive?

Oxygen is required for cellular respiration, the production of ATP. Oxygen is an electron receptor in the Krebs cycle with reaction that transforms O2 to C02 fueling every chemical reaction (albeit indirectly) in the body.

By what process are nutrients and oxygen oxidized in your cells?

The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.


Nutrients and oxygen how are they passed from plasma to body cells?

The nutrients and O do not come from the plasma to the body cells. They came from the red blood cells that deliver them (or so I thought). They then enter the capillaries and give the nutrients and O to the other cells and get the waste products like CO2.


What happens when oxygen and nutrients get to your cells?

your cells get ENERGY


what part of the blood cells carry food nutrients and oxygen to all cells?

The blood plasma contains the red blood cells which carries the food nutrients and oxygen to all the cells.


What carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells?

Blood


What is a liquid that carries oxygen nutrients and waste through the body?

Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body cells, and it removes waste and takes it to the kidneys where it is filtered from the blood and passed to the bladder. From there, it is passed out of the body through urinating.


Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?

Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.


Delivery of oxygen and nutrients?

Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to cells in the body through the circulatory system. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the blood, while nutrients are transported through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body. This delivery process is essential for cell function and overall health.


Is a vein a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells?

No, a Capillary is a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells.


Where does cells get oxygen water and nutrients the need to function?

Cells get oxygen from the air we breathe, water from the fluids we drink, and nutrients from the food we eat. Oxygen is transported via the bloodstream to cells, while water and nutrients are absorbed through the digestive system and distributed to cells for energy production and other functions.


Body cells receive oxygen and nutrients from food delivered by?

Blood does. It carries oxygen from the lungs with which you breath fresh air in. Then blood goes to the heart and is sent to the whole body with oxygen! Oxygen support the cells', and the body's life!
