When your food is ingested, it is broken down by enzymes. Glucose and amino acids are some of the products formed from the breaking down of food, and they are absorbed into the blood by the small intestines. The blood carrying the nutrients will then be pumped to the rest of the body after it returns to the heart.

As for oxygen, when you inhale, oxygen in the lungs diffuse into your bloodstream via small blood vessels surrounding your air sacs. This oxygenated blood then returns to the heart and is pumped to the rest of the body.

So in short, they are transported by the circulatory system.

What distributed by the blood to the body cells?

oxygen and nutrients.


How do you call the process where digested food and oxygen are distributed to the body cells?

circulation


Where does cells get oxygen water and nutrients the need to function?

Cells get oxygen from the air we breathe, water from the fluids we drink, and nutrients from the food we eat. Oxygen is transported via the bloodstream to cells, while water and nutrients are absorbed through the digestive system and distributed to cells for energy production and other functions.


What supplies oxygen to the cells?

Blood delivers oxygen to the cells through the red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the different tissues in the body where it is needed for cellular respiration.


The most important gas distributed to all cells of the body by blood is?

Oxygen! Remember it isn't the only gas. CO2 is also removed from cells in the body.


What substance is brought into the body during respiration?

Air is brought into the body during respiration, and oxygen is absorbed by the hemoglobin of the red blood cells in the lungs by diffusion. Carbon dioxide is removed during respiration -- without the removal of the CO2, the oxygen wouldn't get in.


How oxygen distributed throughout the body?

Oxygen is transported throughout the body by red blood cells in the circulatory system. When we inhale, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. These oxygen-loaded red blood cells are then carried by the circulatory system to all tissues and organs in the body, where the oxygen is released to support cellular respiration.


What carries food water and oxygen to the body cell?

The circulatory system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, carries food, water, and oxygen to body cells. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells, nutrients by plasma, and water is distributed throughout the body.


How does circulation of the blood help the cells?

It supplies Oxygen to the cells and tissues and excrete Carbondioxide from them


Through breathing the respiratory system exchanges what for what?

The gas we inhale is oxygen. Oxygen is transported from the alveoli in the lungs to the blood cells in the veins and then, distributed to different organs. Thus, resulting deoxygenated blood to produce waste products. So, we exhale carbon dioxide. inhale- oxygen (O2) exhale- carbon dioxide (CO2)


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.


We get this oxygen from the what that we breathe?

We get oxygen from the air that we breathe. When we inhale, our lungs take in oxygen from the air and transfer it into our bloodstream to be distributed throughout the body. Oxygen is essential for sustaining life and is used by our cells to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration.
