Capillaries obtain oxygen for the body from the alveoli in the lungs. When we inhale, oxygen enters the alveoli and diffuses across their thin walls into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then transported through the circulatory system to tissues and organs throughout the body.
What else can I help you with?
How does your body obtain oxygen?
Our body obtain oxygen to our body by breathing.
What passes from the body cells into the capillaries?
oxygen
Capillaries are to body tissues as are to lungs?
oxygen
What type of blood vessels is oxygen released into body cells?
Capillaries - they are the smallest vessels that serve as arteries and veins.
What do capillaries do in your bodies?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in your body and act as the exchange point for oxygen.
Contrast the direction of movement of oxygen in lung capillaries and other capillaries in the body?
the direction of movement of oxygen from the air you breathe and to dispose of excess.
How does oxygen get from red blood cells to body cells?
capillaries
The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin occurs in the?
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
What substances do capillaries take to the cells in the body?
Capillaries take oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the cells in the body. They also remove waste products, such as carbon dioxide, from the cells.
How do living cells in the artery and vein obtain oxygen?
living cells in the arteries and veins obtain oxgyen via diffusion from the capillaries...
How does the body transport oxygen to cells?
Oxygen is supplied to the body tissues by a series of blood vessels from arteries, arteriolles, to capillaries.
What do the capillaries carry to the body cells?
Capillaries are very thin blood vessels. Oxygen and nutrients and hormones can pass through the walls of the capillaries and reach the body's cells, while red blood cells remain in the capillaries.
