Why does the blood leaving most organs in the brain have less oxygen than when it entered the brain?

The brain is generally considered one organ, and yes blood delivers oxygen to the brain, so when the blood leaves the brain, it is oxygen depleted. This oxygen fuels the brain through respiration, which gives it the energy to keep you alive and constantly keep your bodily functions in line. There is a blood brain barrier though, so blood never actually enters the brain and oxygen diffuses over this barrier.
