Oxygen passes through the alveoli in the lungs into the capillaries during the process of gas exchange. The thin walls of the alveoli and capillaries facilitate diffusion, allowing oxygen to move from areas of higher concentration in the alveoli to lower concentration in the blood. Once in the capillaries, oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport throughout the body. This process is essential for supplying oxygen to tissues and organs for cellular respiration.
Oxygen and other gases pass through the capillaries.
Capillaries
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

Capillaries
Oxygen is transported by red blood cells and is released into tissues as they pass through capillaries in the tissue.
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.
capillaries
No, all gas exchange is done through capillaries. Both veins and arteries are too thick and contain muscle layers that prevent gas exchange. However, capillaries are small enough (blood cells can only pass through one at a time) that oxygen can pass to the tissues and carbon dioxide can pass to the RBCs.
If their walls are too thick, substances like oxygen and nutrients and waste cannot pass across the cells into or out of the body.
Yah dummy. Oxygen passes into the cells from caps and Carbon Dioxide out of the cells into the caps
