From where does the blood get oxygen?
The blood gets oxygen from the air around us which is made of oxygen. When we breath in, the oxygen is taken into our lungs and then into our blood.
Does blood produce oxygen?
Yes - oxygen is held in red blood cells (in haemoglobin to be precise). As the blood flows, oxygen is brought all around the body and eventually gets back to the heart and lungs as carbon dioxide (which is what you exhale).
How cany ou tell if a blood cell is carrying oxygen or not?
If the blood cell is red you can tell that it has oxygen
How does oxygen travel throughout the body?
First you breath it in and then it goes through you blood stream dropping off oxygen molecules and picking up carbon dioxide all through the body and then it goes to the lungs to get more oxygen and drop off the carbon dioxide so it can be exhaled.
What is the medical term meaning condition of deficient oxygen in tissues?
The condition of deficient oxygen is hypoxia, and the condition of no oxygen is anoxia. Blood cells are aerobic so they need oxygen to survive. If you have below normal oxygen levels, you're not providing your blood with its fuel; you're basically starving your blood cells. Blood delivers oxygen to your tissues before returning to your lungs to fill up again. So if your blood isn't getting enough oxygen, neither will any other part of your body.

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)
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.
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.

Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
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
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
Which chemical in your blood carries oxygen?
haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood
Is dark blood oxygen-rich?
Dark red blood is oxygen-poor. Bright red blood is oxygen-rich.
