What do you called the movement of the blood as it carries food and oxygen to the cell body?

The movement of blood carrying food and oxygen to the cells is called circulation. This process involves blood being pumped by the heart through blood vessels to reach all parts of the body, delivering nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products.


How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?

Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the blood. Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells, while carbon dioxide is mainly transported as bicarbonate in plasma. However, the mechanisms of their diffusion and release in tissues and exchange in the lungs differ, with oxygen diffusing from alveoli into the blood and carbon dioxide diffusing from tissues into the blood.
