What organ or structure absorbes oxygen from the air?
The respiratory system seems like the obvious answer, but you used the word absorb. The respiratory system takes air into the lungs, but the red blood cells (erythrocytes) absorb the oxygen out of the air taken into the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers these red blood cells to the capillaries where the oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide as the cells need.
How does oxygen leave the body?
Oxygen leaves the body through the process of respiration. During inhalation, oxygen is taken into the lungs and transferred to the bloodstream, where it is then distributed to cells in the body. As cells use oxygen for metabolic processes, carbon dioxide is produced and exchanged back through the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is exhaled out of the body.
