What is the oxygen inhaled into your lungs used for?

Answer 1

It basically is used to burn fuel to power the body, more or less just like a campfire uses the air to burn. When the blood goes to the lungs, oxygen is absorbed in and as it leaves the lungs to go to the different parts of the body, it provides the energy. Therefore, the lesser the amount of oxygen in the blood, the weaker we become and body organs will die ultimately.

Answer 2

When you breathe in, oxygen travels down your throat and into the bronchi. After that, the air goes into each lung. The air goes down into the bronchioles until it reaches the alveoli. Once the air is in the alveoli, the oxygen passes into the pulmonary capillary. And the oxygen gets into the bloodstream. The oxygen goes to the brain to keep it healthy functioning.

Answer 3

Well, step one: you breathe it in. After you breathe in the oxygen, it enters your lungs and is picked up by blood cells. Then, it travels all over your body. The blood cells return the oxygen (now carbon dioxide) to your lungs to be exhaled before returning to your heart. Which takes all of 2 seconds.

Answer 4

It leaves the body when it's exhaled.

Before it is exhaled, some of the oxygen is absorbed through the membrane wall tissue, and into the bloodstream.

Answer 5

Some of it goes into the blood and gets distributed to the tissues of the body containing cells that need oxygen to function.

Answer 6

To help pump air into the body.
