When an oxygen molecule passes through the trachea, it travels through the airway as part of the respiratory process. The trachea, lined with cilia and mucus, helps filter, warm, and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs. As the oxygen continues into the bronchi and eventually the alveoli, it is prepared for gas exchange, where it will diffuse into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body.

What is the journey of an oxygen molecule through the respiratory system?
Nose>>>pharynx>>>larynx >>>trachea >>>bronchus >>>bronchiole >>>alveolus
Describe the path that a molecule of oxygen takes as it moves form the air outside your body into the alveolar?
A molecule of oxygen enters the body through the nose or mouth, travels down the trachea, passes through the bronchi and bronchioles, and finally reaches the alveoli in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream through the thin walls of the alveoli.
What happens when molecule combusts?
Combines with oxygen
What is the tube called in which oxygen travels down to the lungs?
The tube through which oxygen travels down to the lungs is called the trachea. It is also known as the windpipe and is a crucial part of the respiratory system.
What is the path of an oxygen molecule when it enters the human body?
Nostrils-Pharynx-Trachea(Wind Pipe)-Bronchi-Bronchioles-Alveoli
What happens when water molecule and oxygen molecule are put in the contain what?
Nothing would happen. You would just have a mixture of water and oxygen.
What happens to the air as it travels in the body?
When we breathe oxygen.The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth and we end up breathing out oxygen. Also the name for when we breathe oxygen and and breathe out carbon dioxide is "gas exchange"
What is the order of structures that oxygen passes through between your nose and your bloodstream?
Oxygen enters your nose,then goes through the trachea,to the bronchi,and last to your lungs.
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the walls of the trachea?
No, the trachea is a passageway for air to travel to and from the lungs. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the alveoli of the lungs, where they diffuse across the walls of the alveoli and capillaries.
What is the order of the structures that oxygen passes through between your nose?
Oxygen enters your nose,then goes through the trachea,to the bronchi,and last to your lungs.
Where do arthorpods get their oxygen?
Arthropods have trachea through which air can circulate. Arthropods have very small openings in their body through which oxygen enters and is distributed throughout their system.
How is oxygen taken in by lungs?
Oxygen is taken in by the lungs through the process of inhalation. When you breathe in, air containing oxygen enters the lungs through the trachea and bronchial tubes, eventually reaching the alveoli where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream.
